IT is both my work and hobby.

Hi! My name is Nik, I am 33 years old and have been working within the IT industry for the last 9 years.

My roles were initially support roles (service desk, support analyst, desktop support engineer etc) but lately I have begun to pivot towards web based technologies - full stack - from server installation (ubuntu, centos, kali, esxi) and configuring all the way through to deploying both production and UAT.

A good indication of how IT obsessed is that I converted my old AMD Desktop PC into a barebones esxi host (running on the latest esxi version - 6.7 - with no issues whatsoever) for fun! There are currently 8 virtual machines hosted from it, all configured and accessible from my LAN - inclusive of a PXE Boot server which allows me to perform tasks such as troubleshoot, all the way through to completely and automatically format any physical machine I have and install an OS that I have stored on the NAS.
