About Me

Hi I am Daniel Osborne :wave:,
By day, I work as a Network Architect, designing and implementing enterprise network solutions. My professional experience involves working extensively with technologies like Aruba Central, ClearPass, Cisco

Catalyst Center, and configuring complex network environments. Outside of work, my passion for technology continues in my home lab. I enjoy experimenting with self-hosting and virtualization, primarily using TrueNAS as the core of my setup.

This site serves as a place to share some of my projects, thoughts on technology, and learnings from both my professional work and personal explorations.
