Hi, I'm Michael Hanna. 👋
When I'm not playing or teaching saxophone, I'm writing code, designing networks, and managing systems.
I enjoy getting hands-on with tech. Whether I'm working on a full-stack web app, configuring a switch, or setting up VMs in my homelab, I like understanding how systems work from the physical wire up to the UI. IÂ hold CCNA and Azure Fundamentals certifications, grounding my practical project work in solid networking and cloud foundations.
This portfolio started out focused on web development, but I'm expanding it to cover the broader range of technology I'm working with: network labs, homelab projects, software, and practical guides. Feel free to explore the projects, see what I'm learning, or get in touch!

Systems-First Mindset
Thinking about how the code, the network, and the hardware talk to each other.
Reliability
Writing config and software that are stable, predictable, and built to last.
Clear Documentation
Writing down IP schemas and code logic so the next person doesn't have to guess.
Methodical Troubleshooting
Thinking through problems layer by layer instead of throwing random fixes at the wall.
End-User Focus
Remembering that systems should serve real people and prioritizing usability.
Clear Communication
Translating the tech into plain English.
