Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology Student

Hi, I'm Dan.

also known online as DanTheWizard. I build, repair, and experiment with technology, from websites and Docker servers to Active Directory labs, hardware troubleshooting, and cybersecurity-focused projects.

About Me

Hands-on with hardware, software, and systems.

I am an Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology student at the New York Institute of Technology with experience in IT support, web development, computer repair, and system administration projects. I enjoy understanding how technology works from both the user side and the system side.

My work includes troubleshooting computers, maintaining websites, experimenting with Linux and Docker, building virtualized Active Directory-style environments, and creating practical tools that solve real problems.
