Top SchoolJacob Dresdale is a systems engineer specializing in network and cloud infrastructure with a decade of hands-on experience across Linux administration, Windows enterprise tooling, scripting, and network engineering.

A kinesthetic learner who quickly adopts new tools and languages, he also focuses on improving documentation and onboarding to raise team-wide consistency.
