Portrait of Carleton Lees
Infrastructure-minded IT student focused on dependable systems, hardware support, and practical operations.

Profile

About

Infrastructure work rewards patience, documentation, and calm troubleshooting.

I am studying Information Technology at George Mason University with a concentration in Computational Platforms and Infrastructure.

My practical work spans endpoint setup, inventory control, classroom technology, home lab administration, self-hosted services, OpenWrt networking, and recovery planning.

I am seeking an IT infrastructure, server support, or data center role where reliability and clear operations matter.
