I'm Jon, a tech enthusiast who thrives on securing systems and tinkering in my home lab, exploring AI, networking, autotech, and cutting-edge innovations. When I'm not geeking out as a system admin or strengthening IT security, you'll find me cooking, trying new restaurants, sinking shots at the billiards table, throwing darts, or diving into immersive video games—hobbies that keep my mind sharp and my aim true.

This project aims to clear disk corruption on a disk, and in a windows image to prevent further crashes. [Note this does not recover the data it just removes the corruption. In the case of the windows image it regenerates that data.]
This will be my platform for writing guides, tutorials, and for my technology information.

Show credentialI am pleased to provide a recommendation for Jonathan, whom I had the pleasure of working with at Nexcess, first as a peer then under my supervision as a Linux Technician. During our time together, Jonathan consistently demonstrated exceptional skills and a strong work ethic that set him apart from his peers.
Jonathan is a gifted programmer with a remarkable ability to write clean, efficient code. His attention to detail and commitment to best practices significantly improved software development processes at the company. He has a deep understanding of Linux systems and is instrumental in optimizing our clients’ server performance, which has led to increased reliability and reduced downtime.
One of Jonathan's standout qualities is his expertise in malware detection. He has a seemingly magical knack for successfully identifying and mitigating potential threats, ensuring the security of corporate systems and protecting sensitive data. His insightful approach to cybersecurity has not only safeguarded our infrastructure but has also fostered a culture of awareness and vigilance among the team.
Beyond his technical skills, Jonathan possesses an exceptional, bright personality that makes him a dream to work with. He is approachable, collaborative, and always willing to lend a helping hand to colleagues. His positive attitude and ability to communicate complex ideas in a clear manner made him an asset to our team.
Jonathan is particularly adept at finding innovative solutions to old problems. He approaches challenges with a fresh vision and perspective, often suggesting creative strategies that led to significant improvements in operations. His ability to think freely has not only enhanced our projects but has also inspired others to adopt a similar mindset.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Jonathan for any position that requires a skilled Linux technician with a strong programming background and a passion for problem-solving. His technical expertise, combined with his exceptional interpersonal skills, make him an ideal candidate for any organization looking to enhance their IT capabilities.
