I'm a graduate with an associates in Networking Systems Management, and currently work as a Senior IT Support Specialist.
I often find myself yerning to learn more, so I take it upon myself to learn new things on my own every day!
My Previous Pseudo-Company name "PhoenixNet" covered my work on my first homelab, but I've break off from it and create a spin-off Pseudo-brand "PhoenixNet-Labs" for developing projects that incorporate the technologies I learn in my day to day tasks.
I've learned alot of technologies throughout my journey, and it's definately helped me decide where I want to take my career next.
Throughout highschool, and college, I had a wonderful lab, with Dell Poweredge Servers and Ubiquiti networking equipment. Now, as I've graduated, moved out, and joined the workforce I've decided to upgrade and hone my skills in my lab a little bit.
