Hi! My name is Jonathan. I’m a Sr. Manager of Core Systems Infrastructure at a global company. My team gets to play with servers, storage, virtualization, VDI and cloud technology, and we have a blast!

As a manager though, I don’t get as much hands-on “keyboard time” in my day job. So I enjoy running my own home lab where I can try to keep up on my keyboard skills and actually do stuff rather than managing the folks who do. Don’t get me wrong – I love my job! But I do miss sometimes the in-the-weeds work that goes on day-to-day.

So here I will write about things I do in my home lab, like firewalls, virtualization and Linux. Most recently I’ve been learning a little bit about ansible. I’ll share my adventures, how I do things (not that they’re always the best way), and, well, just what I enjoy.

I hope you enjoy reading!
