TIME IN SPOKANE — --:--:-- PST

I spent four years at one org in Spokane, Philantech3 which became CleverPath IT, supporting 100+ organizations and 3,000+ endpoints. I started on phones and tickets and moved toward the wire with Meraki and FortiGate, then UniFi and Windows Server. I built a physical home lab I racked and cabled myself. I use this site as a lab notebook for the move into networking: lab guides, a cert roadmap (CCNA in progress → Azure/Juniper → security/OT) and field notes.
