Eight years running enterprise IT across film studios, talent agencies, and a professional esports organization. The work has always been infrastructure: designing it, operating it, and being the person who gets called when it breaks at 2am.
At Team Liquid, I was the sole IT owner for three-plus years. 200-plus users, global operations, everything from Google Workspace administration to physical access control. Esports runs 24/7 and waits for no one. That environment taught me what resilience actually means at the operational level.
When the layoff came in March 2026, I didn't start building. I already had a three-node Proxmox cluster running 25-plus services across five VLANs. The Alliance Fleet existed because the gap between "operating systems" and "building them" needed closing on my own terms. The lab is the portfolio. The certs are the proof.
Systems Administrator I at Be Structured Technology Group, a managed service provider based in Los Angeles. MSP breadth is the deliberate next step: multiple client environments, varied stacks, and the documentation discipline that comes from never having institutional memory to fall back on.
Pursuing AZ-104 (Microsoft Azure Administrator) with SC-300 and AZ-500 queued after. The homelab maps directly to every Azure concept: VNets are VLANs, NSGs are UniFi firewall rules, Azure Monitor is the TIG stack.
