Who Am I?

I'm Jay, a lifelong autodidact and I absolutely cannot keep my paws off the shiny new thing. I love trying out new hobbies and diving deep into new technologies. My professional background spans Linux Admin, Full-Stack Software Development, and ICS Cybersecurity.

Why This Blog?

My hope is that I can finally start to Learn in Public, and as a result the content here will primarily be for me, but if you're here I hope you can get some use out of it too!

I also have the fantasy that I will one day begin the slog of converting decades of private notes into something suitable for public consumption. There should be plenty of content on thing I've learned over the years related to Linux, Software, WebDev, building and maintaining Self-Hosted Infra, etc.

I'm currently open to senior engineering roles (data, platform/SRE, backend, or security), as well as consulting and advisory work — remote-friendly, based in Madison, WI. I'm also happy to talk shop, collaborate, or speak.
