I'm a graduate with an associates in Networking Systems Management, and currently work as a 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 focus my lab a little bit.

I've been harnessing my skills lately, and picked up some new skills along the way too!
