 USAF Staff Sergeant (weather forecaster, 2001–2007) and former backup/storage admin at Constant Contact. Spent the intervening years doing things that
 don't look like tech on a resume. Came back to the terminal about 18 months ago and haven't stopped.

 I run a production homelab: 20+ cron-driven services (trading pipelines, daily digests, NLP scraping, EEG tools), real backup/restore cycles tested
 against R2, incident response on live systems, published open-source tooling (github.com/responsiblparty). I use Claude Code as a force multiplier for
 orchestration — I spec, I verify, I own the outcome.

 Not a senior engineer. Closer to a capable junior-mid ops generalist with high autonomy and a real bias toward things staying up. Starting EMT-B in
 August, so healthcare IT / clinical informatics is a natural fit, and async schedules work well.

 Looking for remote Linux ops, junior sysadmin, or MSP support roles. Contract fine.
