Hi, I’m Evan — an engineer with a passion for information security, automation, and building resilient cloud infrastructure. I spend a lot of time in the weeds solving real-world problems, whether that’s through client work or experiments in my homelab. This blog is where I document those lessons, not just to keep track of what I’ve learned, but to share practical insights that others in the field can apply too. My focus is on bridging the gap between security best practices and operational efficiency. Whether you’re planning your infrastructure, hardening environments, or just learning the ropes, I hope these posts give you something useful to take with you. Thanks for stopping by — let’s keep learning and building together.
