Hi there, I'm

Jared Butler

|

Data Center Technician at AWS and Rider University graduate. I build things, break things, and learn from both.

About Me

I'm a Black and Italian guy from New Jersey and Rider University graduate with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Cybersecurity. My passion for technology and IT drives me to constantly explore new tools and systems.

I thrive on solving complex problems — whether it's debugging code, optimizing network performance, or designing secure digital environments. I have hands-on experience maintaining and administering servers across Linux distributions including Arch, Debian, and Fedora.

Outside of work, I love tinkering with servers and networks, setting up virtual labs, and experimenting with open-source technologies. I'm proficient across Windows, macOS, and Linux — adaptable in any IT environment.
