Gavin Barber — network engineer in training

overview

Hey, I'm Gavin Barber. I'm a tech professional with around five years of experience, currently working toward becoming a network engineer. I run a homelab I built from the ground up, and I have a strong interest in AI and automation — with a general goal of learning as much about technology as I can.

background running-config

My path into tech has been hands-on from the start. I learn best by building, breaking, and rebuilding. Day-to-day I work in IT support and desktop/endpoint management — outside of work I run a homelab and I'm pushing toward network engineering and security.

This is where I document things I've learned, labs I've built, and techniques I've explored. Part note-taking, part knowledge-sharing. If something I write saves someone a few hours of debugging, that's the win.
