About Me

The Technician
Behind the Terminal.

Hey — I'm Aniket Chandanshive, an IT technician with a passion for making systems run right and keeping bad actors out. Based in Toronto, I've been working in IT for X years, picking up sysadmin and cybersecurity skills along the way.

I work across Linux and Windows environments, handle everything from network configuration to server hardening, and dig into security incidents when things get interesting. I care about doing things properly — clean configs, solid documentation, and processes that hold up under pressure.

Outside of work, you'll find me [your hobby or fun fact]. Always learning, always building something new.
