About

Long story short

While a lot of the content here is about troubleshooting storage and virtualization tech, these days I'm diving into some seriously cool new stuff. Spoiler alert! GPUs, AI and even liquid cooling.

About me

Hey there! I'm Juan Mulford, and this is my digital playground. Just a heads up: while some posts might get a bit technical, I don't intend this blog to be all serious business. We're here to have fun with tech, right? Have you seen some of my crazy childish featured images? That's all me! 🙂

I've been bouncing around the IT industry for over 15 years now, wearing all sorts of hats. I started out in telecommunications and networking, then spent a good chunk of time (since 2012) geeking out over storage and virtualization, especially anything VMware-flavored.

But hey, times change, and so do I! These days, I'm all about pushing the envelope with the latest in data center tech. Think GPUs that could probably launch a rocket, AI setups that might become self-aware (kidding... maybe), and cooling systems so slick they'd make a penguin jealous.

I started this blog as my personal tech diary, but sharing my experiences has become really enjoyable. Now, I'm documenting my journey through cloud technologies and various IT projects. Whether you're an experienced IT professional or new to the industry, I hope you'll find something interesting and useful here.

After a decade-long stint in Taiwan (where I became a bubble tea expert), I've recently landed in the US. New location, same tech obsession. So grab a virtual coffee, pull up a chair, and let's geek out together over the ever-changing, always-exciting world of IT!
