# About Brian Kimball

> Brian Kimball is a Systems Engineer and Developer based in Delaware. He writes about IBM i modernization, full-stack development, network infrastructure, and building resilient systems from the metal up.

I build across the boundary between software and infrastructure. My version of "full-stack" includes racking servers, configuring VLANs, and then deploying the application.

I started in graphic design and web development, moved through helpdesk and systems administration, and eventually led the technical architecture for a cloud services division. That path taught me to treat applications, networks, and hardware as one system — not separate specialties.
