Build
Create working systems, environments, workflows, and prototypes.
About Shimori Cyber
Building practical skills through real systems.
Shimori Cyber is where I document my cybersecurity, systems, infrastructure, development, and automation journey through practical projects, technical experiments, and lessons learned along the way.
My Journey
Learning by building.
My background spans communications, IT systems, Linux administration, networking, infrastructure, technical support, troubleshooting, development, and cybersecurity.
I have always learned best by working directly with systems: configuring them, testing them, breaking them, troubleshooting failures, documenting what happened, and improving the design.
Shimori Cyber is the place where that process is made visible. The goal is not simply to list technologies, but to show how I use them in practical environments.
How I Work
Build. Test. Troubleshoot. Improve.
Test
Validate behavior, security, reliability, and usability.
Troubleshoot
Trace failures, investigate causes, and understand how systems behave under stress.
Document
Turn the process into repeatable, understandable technical knowledge.
Improve
Refine architecture, security, workflows, and implementation.
Current Focus
What I'm working on now.
Cybersecurity
Security fundamentals, system hardening, threat detection, secure architecture, and practical defensive workflows.
Linux & Systems
Linux administration, workstation design, services, self-hosting, system configuration, and infrastructure management.
Networking
Segmentation, DNS, firewalls, network architecture, troubleshooting, and secure connectivity.
Automation
Scripting, workflow automation, repeatable tooling, and reducing manual technical processes.
AI-Assisted Workflows
Local LLMs, development assistance, model evaluation, structured prompting, automation, and technical analysis.
Development
Web development, software troubleshooting, Git workflows, technical systems, and practical implementation.
Background
Systems, infrastructure, and technical problem solving.
My professional background includes communications and IT work with the Canadian Armed Forces, along with independent systems administration, technical troubleshooting, infrastructure work, and software development.
That experience shaped the way I approach cybersecurity: understanding the full system matters. Security is not isolated from networking, infrastructure, users, software, or operations.
My current focus is continuing to deepen those skills through practical security work, labs, projects, development, and technical documentation.
Where I'm Going
Stronger systems through continuous improvement.
The goal is to keep expanding practical capability in cybersecurity, infrastructure, networking, automation, and development while documenting enough of the process to help others learn from it.
