Software Development Skills
Current Skill Development
I am currently expanding my knowledge of SFP/QSFP cabling. Although there are only two types of cables, Direct Attached Copper and Optical Network Cabling, the use cases and capabilities for Optical Network Cabling vary to such a degree that it takes much more time to memorize crucial information.

Over the past 5.5 years, I have developed new skills in networking and systems administration through hands-on experience within my home network. I have expanded my knowledge about these topics to provide myself and other users of my network a better user experience. This better user experience was achieved through providing low-latency bandwidth, load balancing or high availability, and redundancy.
