THE LAB

I started in tech support in the early 2000s, on the SBC DSL lines — back when broadband was taking dial-up’s crown, and I was doing support for it in its final days. From there: provisioning MPLS circuits for a major telecom — Cisco gear, BGP, OSPF, the real plumbing. Then years running web hosting servers — setting up WordPress sites, managing DNS, keeping small clients online, and teaching myself to lock it all down.

Zerqor Labs is where all of that goes now. Networking, security, and AI work.

Right now: local AI models on my own machines, building apps and tools for the future of security, and advocating for the small builder.

Built by hand. Run on real machines.
