About

Hello! I am a student in California, and I am interested in programming and IT/system administration. I am also known as SealsRock12 and sealsrock.

Experience

• Linux and FreeBSD system administration, primarily what I do in my homelab
• Comfortable with Windows system administration (Active Directory, Hyper-V, etc.)
• Experience with networking: subnetting, various protocols (HTTP, FTP, DHCP, SSH, DNS, WireGuard, etc), configuring/managing networking equipment, routing, NAT, and more
• Experience with a of variety virtualization/containerization frameworks, particularly Proxmox VE (QEMU, LXC) and Docker.
• A variety of programming languages, particularly C++ and JavaScript
• Made several fullstack web development projects
• Experienced with Git and GitHub, both client and server

Projects

I don’t have any certificates or anything like that for IT/system administration, but I am very interested in it. I have a server at home, where I make VMs to run “production” servers as well as to test out new ideas. I use Proxmox currently. I might make a full post about it soon.

I enjoy helping people with their tech issues because that often helps me learn, so I help out on the r/TechSupport Live Chat. I also helped build their new wiki and a tool to gather information on Windows computers. I also make contributions to other open-source projects here and there. You can find more details of that on my GitHub.

My favorite operating system is FreeBSD, but Linux is usually just more practical, so I end up using Linux more often. I like using Debian for servers and Arch/Gentoo for clients.

Website information

This website uses Astro, a partial static site generator, to build most of the website. For interactive components, such as the Search and the page lists, I used Preact. I used SCSS for styling, and the colors were heavily inspired by the Nord theme. I actually partially built a light mode, but I haven’t finished it; however, if you set [data-theme=light] on the root element, it will switch! Be warned, however, some of the site doesn’t look very good.

This website will just consist of random stuff about technology related to the projects I am doing.
