Writing about things I build, break, play, and think about.

For decades, “hello, world!” has been the defacto standard way to start things off, be it the output of our first code written or the first post we make on a new medium. To keep in line with tradition,

hello, world!

I’m Mark, nice to meet you! By profession I’m a Senior IT Operations Engineer, working with anything from Apple device management (#MacAdmins anyone?) to Zscaler, identity & access management, to various automation tooling, SaaS applications, and more. I’ve worked within small business, managed services, education, corporate, healthcare, and all sorts of different organizations. I’ve even been fortunate to have worked for one of the big makers of Apple device management software. Odds are, a good chunk of my posts will speak towards my experiences and opinions in my field.

Aside from that, I spend my time dabbling in a variety of other interests. I’ve always been an avid gamer, and you will likely come across the occasional related post. I also work with tech for fun, progressing my skills and doing fun side projects. I’m getting more into being a maker, and am doing my best to put my 3D printer to actual use.

And now, I shall pay the cat tax.
