I am Joshua Crump, a Windows Server Engineer focused on infrastructure operations, Active Directory, monitoring, automation, and practical systems administration.

My work centers around keeping systems reliable, understandable, and maintainable. I enjoy building clean infrastructure, documenting how things work, and improving processes that make support and administration easier.

My current technical interests include:

Windows Server
Active Directory and Group Policy
PKI and certificate services
Hyper-V and virtualization
Linux administration
Docker and self-hosted services
Monitoring with tools like Zabbix
Security visibility with tools like Wazuh
PowerShell automation
Azure and Microsoft 365

I also maintain CrumpNet, a personal technology site where I document homelab projects, infrastructure decisions, and lessons learned.
