About Me

Ethan Light, Aspiring Cybersecurity and IT Systems Professional.

I am finishing a B.S. of Cybersecurity with Purdue University Global and pursuing industry certifications, all while gaining practical experience through building my own home infrastructure. I have given myself hands-on experience with many technologies you would find in enterprise IT environments just because I found it enjoyable. I have a strong passion for all things IT and I hope to start my career strong.

Plex Media Server

I host a Plex media server and share my 12TB libraries with friends and family. Additionally, I run Tautulli to send Discord webhook notifications for new additions and Requestrr for allowing people to request media through Discord.

Low Voltage Cabling

When my parent's moved into their new house, I repurposed the RJ-11 phone ports in the walls into RJ-45 ethernet ports because they used Cat 5 cabling. I learned how to terminate ethernet into passthroughs, keystone jacks, and patch panels.

Raspberry Pi Experimentation

I have two Raspberry Pi devices that individually run DNS adblockers and OpenVPN servers so I can remotely access my home network and my parent's network. I plan on using my roommate's 3D printer to experiment with cool Cyberdeck and RetroPi designs.
