IT

A summer of field troubleshooting at Asurion, and the server behind Aelius, which I built and administer myself. This page is served from that server.

Experience

Asurion

May 2026 to Aug 2026

Field troubleshooting and sales

  • Troubleshot a wide range of devices in the field, which is where most of my hands-on diagnostic experience comes from.
  • Held a perfect five-star customer rating for the whole time I was there.
  • A sales role as well as a technical one. More about that on the sales page.

Aelius, systems administration

2025 to now

  • Ubuntu server, with every service under systemd and deployed by hand. No managed hosting and no cloud provider.
  • Traffic arrives through a Cloudflare tunnel, so the house has no open ports, and a second network path covers the first one dropping.
  • A watchdog restarts services that fail, and health checks run before I call an update finished.
  • Updates that interrupt people wait for a quiet hour, because the service has real users on it.
  • Backups, disk replacement, and printer, network and account support for the house that all of this sits in.

Education

Centennial High School, Boise, Idaho

Aug 2022 to May 2025
