Systems + software

Infrastructure-minded work with a web builder's eye for polish.

I'm Jevon Thompson, a systems administrator who likes Linux, self-hosted tooling, practical documentation, and thoughtful delivery. This site doubles as a portfolio and a running notebook for the work behind the curtain.

A mix of shipped portfolio work, technical experiments, and self-directed builds that show how I think about interfaces, implementation, and maintenance.
