My name is Zech (Zăk); I am an enthusiastic tech nerd that is always looking to opportunities to educate and better myself.
Though I have always enjoyed technology, I have been working in the field now for nearly a decade and have found a real passion in the
thrill of seeking solutions to puzzles, be it a simple problem to troubleshoot or looking for ways to enhance or automate processes.
I hope to never stop learning and improving.

I enjoy all things STEM but I am actively working on advancing my career in technology.
I first got into the tech field via a recommendation from a data entry position at a financial institution. I moved into a Help Desk
role where I learned the basics of information technology in an enterprise setting. I had personal experience tinkering with technology,
but now I had professional experience. From there I moved up into a more specialist role supporting a diverse suite of applications as well
as taking ownership over products and learning how to be a subject-matter expert. My next move was a big one, getting on with Cerner
Corporation mere weeks before Oracle finalized its acquisition. Working for Oracle as a Systems Engineer allowed me to grow and learn
in ways I never would have expected. It has paved a way for a new career path choice I never would have considered that I am currently pursuing,
that of a DevOps Engineer.

I enjoy tinkering and following the MAKE community. My preference is Raspberry Pis, which is where I really began to fall in love with Linux.
I have since shifted to using Linux as a daily driver on my personal machines. Outside of tech, I also enjoy playing games, woodworking, and tennis.

I will reserve this section for fun things that I would like to share.
