This site is constantly undergoing tweaks, fixes, and improvements, but I hope you find the site easy to use and informative.

My name is E. Paul and I'm a college student at <ahref="https://wpi.edu">Worcester Polytechnic Institute</a> in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Currently, I work for <ahref="https://wpi.edu/+netops">Network Operations</a> at WPI, and have an internship with <ahref="http://www.3ds.com/">Dassault Systèmes</a> in Waltham, MA.
In my spare time I play around with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Windows Server, VMWare, 3D printing, and whatever gizmos I can get my hands on.

On this website you'll find my resume and contact information, as well as links to the other sites and services I maintain.
This network and the services it hosts are largely based on a thought experiment; I know that there are easier ways to do everything I do here. AWS or literally any other web hosting service could do this, and running the sort of stuff I run on windows is, at best, crazy.

But you know what? I don't really care. I find jumping through the hoops and dodging the nonsensical error codes of Windows Server fun. I find the challenge of making a computer do what I want through the UI engaging. And, quite frankly, I think its worth it for the educational experience.

So yes: I run the overwhelming majority of my infrastructure on Windows Server and the NT kernal; and I readily accept and embrace the headaches and frustrations that entails.
