Welcome. I’m Mike — a bids & proposals leader at a global technology firm, a homelabber, and a lifelong student of how systems break and how to build them better. From the Eastern Townships of Québec, I write about the things that keep me up at night and the ones that get me out of bed in the morning: cybersecurity, post-quantum cryptography, sovereign infrastructure, self-hosted services, and the quiet art of making complex technology work reliably in the real world.
