== Introduction
Hello! My name is Brent Saner, and I have a passion for technology.
I don't mean I enjoy playing with the latest gadgets, I mean a *passion*.
ifeval::["{ftype}" == "cv"]
I read RFCs and man pages for fun (so much so that
https://git.square-r00t.net/OpTools/tree/ref/rfc.py[I wrote an RFC client^] - before I found out that the IETF already
https://tools.ietf.org/inventory/reading-tools.shtml[has several^], oops). I have a
https://git.square-r00t.net/[large amount of projects^] I work on in my free time. I have a VM lab (almost a necessity
if one works from home), and my home network is segmented into five different VLANs, four different WLANs tied to a
unique VLAN each, on-site and remote backups, PXE-bootstrapped https://ipxe.org/[iPXE^], with 10Gbps house backbone
using 802.1X backed by RADIUS and LDAP, all with a full x86_64 Linux 1U as my border device. For a home network.
When I say "passion", I mean it.

With this, combined with my 18 years of professional Linux/UNIX experience (21 years hobbyist), I've learned a few
tricks around the ol' rodeo. Because of my adherence to and knowledge of best practices, care for forward-thinking, and
sheer joy I take in solving potentially difficult problems, it is my goal (and particular knack) to get your company's
infrastructure and services smooth and stable while retaining flexibility for vast growth.
