+                <p>I come from a background of mostly messing around with computers my entire life, back to when I was 4 years old, which turned into my professional career.</p>
+                <p>My field of experience mostly revolves around system and network administration, which includes but isn't limited to Windows (Active Directory), Linux, Cisco, Ubiquiti, MikroTik, Proxmox, ESXi, and more.</p>
+                <p>I run my own datacenter at home, named Technolog Networks. I self-host many services (Authentik, Nextcloud, Home Assistant) to keep control of my own data, however I also allow friends to host too!</p>
+                <p>Not to mention other tech hobbies including cable headend/telecom equipment, vintage computers, and more.</p>
+                <p>My bigger hobbies outside of tech? Ponies (MLP:FiM), astronomy, severe weather, pony fursuiting, and just being a kind, caring, and cuddly unicorn to frens :3</p>
