ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm David Bolding — systems architect, automation engineer, and family guy.

I build, break, and connect things—sometimes all at once. I love working with different technologies, diving deep into IT systems, and creating order from chaos.

I enjoy writing a technical blog with mental health sprinkled in. My most honored role is being there for my family and making technology work for people.
