Profile⚓

Introduction⚓

My name is Dave Levine, and I'm a technical specialist living on the North Shore of Long Island. More importantly, I'm also a husband, father, minimalist, musician, and lifter of weights.(1)

I began writing the content for what would become this site in 2016. At the time, it amounted to unstructured writings of things and ideas I wanted or needed to remember. It has since become one of my most important life projects, with hundreds of articles, guides, documents, and other types of content.

The site is the result of years spent capturing and documenting information. It's a testament to continuous self-improvement, unstructured curiosity, and personal growth. Above all, it's a source of truth and a labor of love.

Interests⚓

My interests reduce nicely to the following:

• Learning, creating, understanding, and documenting.
• Personal growth and well-being.
• Sharing and discussing with others.

I spend a fair amount of time reading and learning as much as possible. I believe one of the most important things anyone can do is pass knowledge along to others. Although I don't teach professionally, I enjoy sharing information and having thoughtful discussions whenever possible.

Some topics of interest include system design, homelab, network security, self-improvement, cloud computing, and most recently, fatherhood.
