  Journalism graduate with a decade-plus of high-pressure kitchen
  operations experience and a deep, self-taught technical practice:
  Linux administration, virtualization, home automation, electronics,
  and microcontroller development. I document everything I build.
  Looking to bring calm troubleshooting and clear writing to an IT
  support or technical writing role.

  High-Volume Restaurant Operations                2012 - present
  Back-of-House / Kitchen Operations
    - Ran high-volume stations under time pressure with zero margin
      for error -- the original incident response training.
    - Trained and onboarded new staff; wrote and maintained prep
      procedures (documentation, before I knew to call it that).
    - Diagnosed and repaired kitchen equipment to keep service
      running; hardware troubleshooting under a deadline.
    - Held the line through equipment failures, staffing gaps, and
      ticket rushes: triage, communicate, keep service moving.

  Technical Practice (self-directed)                2019 - present
    - Built and operate a multi-node homelab: Proxmox VE, Docker/LXC,
      network-wide DNS, local LLM inference, home automation.
    - Documented every build publicly at thejpwalker.com/projects.html
      -- wiring maps, parametric CAD source, reproducible build guides.
    - Contributed reverse-engineered hardware support upstream to the
      liquidctl open-source project.
