Hi, I'm Dein (@ValkyrieNexus)

About Me

I'm a career military professional (24+ years) transitioning into the tech sector, combining decades of computer experience with formal development training. Currently working through the Boot.dev curriculum to build solid programming fundamentals while exploring the intersection of development, infrastructure, and automation.

With a BS in Business Administration and MS in Project Management, I bring a unique perspective to technology projects - understanding both the technical implementation and business strategy behind solutions.

Currently serving in the military and preparing for my transition to civilian life in the next couple of years. I'm excited about the next chapter and building a career in technology.

What I'm Working On

  • Development Fundamentals: Progressing through Boot.dev's comprehensive curriculum (Python, Go)
  • Infrastructure Learning: Building a Proxmox virtualization environment and Kubernetes Pi cluster
  • Networking & Security: Preparing for CompTIA Network+, Security+, and CySA+ certifications
  • Homelab Projects: Running a full UniFi infrastructure for hands-on experience
  • Automation & Scripting: Exploring how AI-assisted development can streamline operations

Current Focus

I'm exploring where development, infrastructure, and business strategy intersect. While AI is transforming how we build software, I'm focused on understanding the fundamentals and finding where human creativity and strategic thinking add the most value. My interests span cloud computing, fintech, and defense contracting - areas where my military experience provides valuable context.

Technical Skills & Learning

Programming: Python, Go (via Boot.dev curriculum)
Infrastructure: Proxmox virtualization, Kubernetes Pi cluster, UniFi networking
Security: Planning HackTheBox curriculum for hands-on penetration testing
Certifications: Net+
Certifications in Progress: Security+, Linux+, CySA+
Future Learning Path: Server+, Cloud+, CCNA, AWS/Azure certifications
Background: 40+ years with computers, 24+ years military experience
