Building systems.
Building a career.

I’m Christopher Tillman, an IT professional and Network Systems Administration student bringing hands-on technical experience, operational leadership, and the drive to keep learning.

10+Years leading teams & operations
21Locations supported with technology
24/7Curiosity for how systems work

I’ve built a career solving problems. Now I’m applying that instinct to IT.

Food service taught me how to lead under pressure, take ownership, communicate clearly, and keep complex operations moving. Those lessons are part of what I bring to technology, not something I leave behind.

I’m pursuing an A.S. in Network Systems Administration at FSCJ while building practical skills through help-desk work and my own homelab. My goal is straightforward: contribute, keep learning, and grow into a dependable systems administrator.

HANDS-ON PRACTICE

My homelab is where curiosity becomes capability.

I operate and maintain an environment built around Proxmox, Docker, and TrueNAS, deploying services, testing configurations, managing storage, and learning by doing.
