About
Jacob Smythe
I build practical systems that combine infrastructure reliability, security-focused thinking, and clear technical documentation. My portfolio work centers on homelab automation, forensic artifact analysis, and software tooling that solves operational problems.
Current educational focus: Information Technology. I am developing toward roles that value hands-on systems administration, incident analysis, and disciplined engineering execution.
