About Me

I’m Cory Simmerman, an aspiring IT professional based in Toledo, OH, with a passion for building, automating, and maintaining self-hosted systems. I’ve gained hands-on experience by architecting and managing my own personal server stack—including services like Plex, Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and VPN-only deployments secured with Docker and Nginx. I enjoy troubleshooting, scripting, and diving into new technologies to improve and automate my home network. Driven by curiosity, I’m constantly exploring IT infrastructure from the ground up and always looking for opportunities to expand my skills and tackle real technical challenges.
