Who I Am

Welcome to my page. My name is Alex or G04TH34D (goathead)

I'm a dedicated technology enthusiast with a blend of three years of professional experience and three years of academic training. I started my journey with an associate's degree in Computer Information, and I'm now working towards a Bachelor of Science in Cloud Computing at Western Governors University.

Throughout my career, I've developed a wide skill set. I'm adept at diagnosing and resolving hardware and software issues, configuring and managing network devices, and implementing security measures to safeguard data and systems. I've successfully managed different technology projects in professional and homelab environments, ensuring they meet deadlines and objectives. My background in technical support has taught me how to effectively resolve user issues, troubleshoot networking issues, as well as analyze misconfigurations.

Currently I am learning cloud architecture, security, deployment, operations, and troubleshooting. Additionally, I have learned and practiced pentesting skills from information gathering to vulnerability analysis and exploitation.

I'm committed to continuous learning and plan to widen my knowledge base to automation, orchestration, scripting and intend to continue my education to obtain a Masters in Cyber Security. My goal with this site is to provide a knowledgebase of the things I have learned and provide others with resources.

This Website is going to be used to store my projects, notes, and steps I took to complete those projects. If you have a project or a problem you would like me to be a part of feel free to reach out to me at the email below.

I currently hold certifications in CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, Cloud+, and eLearnSecurity Junior Penetration Tester (eJPT).
