You can learn more about me at my website, ethancedwards.com. You can also find some of my school and open source projects here.
I'm an A+, Security+, ISC2 CC, and GitLab Certified Git Associate. Currently deciding what to study next.
I've been using Linux full time since 7th grade and I've loved every second of it.
My work/open source experience:
- Dracula Tmux: a themed plugin that adds Kubernetes, Git, SSH, hardware, and other status supports to your tmux status bar in an attractive way

- Carroll County Public Schools: I am a Technology Support Intern. I manage a team of up to 6 interns at a time and coordinate weekly tasks and schedules. Two large projects I supervised were replacing old Smartboards and Projectors with 75 new interactive TVs across two buildings and unboxing, provisioning, packaging, and distributing 1200 new Chromebooks to students during the school year. We also do Chromebook repair and IT Support throughout the school year.
- The Ridge Podcast: I host a biweekly (weekly from episodes 1-72) podcast where I interview local Appalachians in my comunity. My guests include judges, lawyers, authors, journalists, teachers, first responders, veterans, and more.
- StorageReview.com: I am a Contributing Technical Writer. I have written articles on networking equipment, software, storage drives, certifications, and more.
Some tools and skills I've picked up:
