I am Lance Westmoreland, a network engineer based out of Yuma, AZ

About

I'm an IT professional with a decade of experience in the military, higher education, and private industries. I am currently working at DoorDash where I perform network infrastructure management and improvement. I love to teach and help others with tech. I created this site as a way to blog and continue to share some of the things I come across along the way in hopes that it is helpful or at least entertaining to others.

Other skills

While attending Western Governors University, I have picked up a few certifications that help supplement my experience with other skills. During that process, I've also found a strong liking to cybersecurity and feel it is where I want to align myself for the future. Delving into HacktheBox, Tryhackme, AWS, and Linux really got me interested in the security side of things.
