Hello, and welcome to my website! 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 Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts. Currently, I work for Network Operations at WPI, and have an internship with Dassault Systèmes 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.
Anyway, that's my piece
