About

I started developing in 2021, writing Lua for GTA V roleplay servers. That work grew into xT Development, whose plugins now run on more than 4,000 servers. Online I go by xThrasherrron GitHub (opens in a new tab).

I also run a homelab: a two-node Proxmox cluster, a NAS for backups and a Docker host. When I merge, GitHub Actions builds a new image and Watchtower deploys it to that host.

My day job is IT administration for client businesses. A lot of my scripting starts there, such as a scanner that reports whether each client device meets policy.
