In my early years, I was passionate about mathematics and high energy physics, but always tinkered with computing. My first programming language was BASIC on a SHARP pocket computer where I wrote a tiny turn-based RPG. While still in academia, I taught myself C and C++ and started using Linux based on a suggestion by one of my physics professors. This had the unintended consequence of redirecting my passions towards open source software and information technology and I left academia to pursue it.
I spent many years working in information security, which gave me the opportunity to broaden my passions to many operating systems, software development, databases, storage technologies, appliance design, data center operations, and cloud computing. Throughout my technical career, I've always pursued every computing challenge with passion and out of the box thinking. I even had the opportunity to pioneer some technologies before the industry had a buzzword for them. Work was always a passion and it extended to my personal life.
I've operated a rack of servers at home for almost 20 years. In that time, I've had a variety of systems, from Sun Microsystems/SPARC, DEC/Alpha, SGI, HP-UX/PA-RISC, NEC/MIPS, and many varieties of x86 servers. Along the way, I shared my passion with friends and strangers, but it was usually a small community. However, in recent years, the popularization of the homelab hobby has expanded this community. I then found that my knowledge and art was useful to this community, and I started the Art of Server eBay store, selling pre-flashed IT mode HBA SAS controllers. I then started the Art of Server YouTube channel to share my art and answer questions from my eBay customers.
I share my passion for servers by providing server components at my eBay store and making videos about servers.
