Building systems that scale
& automation that endures

Infrastructure engineer by trade. Python developer by practice. I design resilient systems, write clean automation, and make sure everything keeps running at scale.

About

JF your photo here

I work in technical operations for a television and streaming production company, managing infrastructure across AWS, on-prem networking, and monitoring platforms. My days involve Splunk pipelines, Cisco switches, and keeping production systems running smoothly.

Outside of work, I run a Proxmox homelab that's become a full R&D environment — from self-hosted AI inference to network monitoring experiments. I'm actively pursuing CCNA and CCNP Enterprise certifications.
