About Jadon
My background combines IT support, an informatics degree and further study in cybersecurity. I've worked in healthcare and retail environments, helping users and working on the equipment they rely on.
Outside work, the homelab gives me a place to try configurations, investigate failures and maintain Linux services. My selected project case studies distinguish that personal work from completed coursework.
