While I may be a student, I work on many projects (or hobbies) at a time that are and aren’t school related.

My latest project was a NAS (Network Attached Storage) Device, I built this home server from scratch as a start to my home lab journey, I love messing around with all forms of OS’s from Linux to Windows, my NAS is built around the TrueNAS architecture, I mainly use this NAS to hold and run some (lighter) VM’s, and recordings for video editing! My NAS runs off of the SCALE version of TrueNAS for GPU passthrough, this NAS also runs on RAID 1 the specs for this NAS are listed below.

I actually moved away from TrueNAS Scale to Proxmox, as I feel Proxmox fit my home labing needs, and want to expand on my skill set!

Proxmox was also my solution to a final project in Semester 3 of my Diploma! Having handled alot of the documentation, and implementation behind a chat solution called Rocket.Chat, this included SMTP routing, to using TailScale for subnet routing allowing users to access the server!

Specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G

Gigabyte Windforce OC 3060 12GB

2x8TB HDD

1TB SSD (Boot)

32GB Ram 3200MHZ

I am also currently working on my CompTIA A+ certification, which I am hoping to have completed in early fall! While this is one of the main certifications I am working on, I am also studying up on some Microsoft Certifications as well and hope to complete a handful over the second school year.

As of September I achieved my CompTia A+ Certification! This was done while I was pursuing an education with NAIT and an accomplishment I am quite proud of! But it is only the first step to the path I wish to take, I am currently studying for the NET+ Certification!

When I am not working on IT related things I often can be caught video editing, I make some gaming videos essays on the side either reviewing a game and it’s developers history, and the gameplay of said games, when it comes to stuff like this I stick to the Adobe Suite of tools. I actually moved to Davinci Resolve!
