From gaming to Diagnostics

community and self management

I started my journey with “StreetLifeGaming” in 2019 I created it with my friend in hopes to have a relaxed FiveM community then it blossomed into something else people have left others have joined, Now the community is 6 years old and we have moved from FiveM and host just about anything survival based.

About Me

Personal Experience

My passion for technology started when I was 12 — after my brother accidentally spilled something on my laptop. Instead of giving up on it, I took it apart and fixed it myself. That one moment sparked years of hands-on learning. By 16, I was setting up my own game servers and experimenting with hosting, modding, and performance optimization. Since then, I’ve expanded into cloud hosting, server management, and self-hosted tools like Plex, Nextcloud, and OPNsense. Whether it’s solving a hardware issue or building an automated workflow, I’m always eager to dive in, learn more, and make things work better.

My goals

My goal is to become a skilled and certified IT pro, starting with CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+. These are the first big steps I’m taking to build a strong foundation in hardware, networking, and cybersecurity.

But it’s not just about passing exams — I’m focused on learning something new every day. Whether I’m fixing tech issues, setting up home lab projects, or digging into how networks actually work, I’m always looking to grow.

In the long run, I want to become a Senior Network Administrator — someone who can confidently manage systems, secure networks, and keep everything running smoothly. I know it takes time and effort, and I’m here for it.

Professional Experience

As a BDC Representative and Social Media Manager at Mike Murphy Ford, I’ve taken on a wide range of responsibilities that go well beyond my original role. I’ve become the go-to IT contact within the dealership, often troubleshooting technical issues or coordinating directly with our IT support company. Over time, I’ve also expanded into media production — turning what was once a personal hobby into a professional skillset. I now create commercials, promotional graphics, and social media content that help drive real engagement and results for the dealership.
