I’m Sid Nguyen. This is where I test technologies, explore new ideas, and make room for the things I love beyond the keyboard.

Curiosity → experiment → understanding01 / ∞
01 / The technology labLess theory.
Less theory.
More “what if?”
A place to test, learn, and showcase the technologies I work with. From network architecture to virtualization and collaboration, the best way to understand something is to get hands-on.
CONNECTIONS THAT MAKE EVERYTHING ELSE POSSIBLE
Networking & architecture
Routing, switching, and the design decisions that connect people to applications. I use this space to explore how networks behave, how they fail, and how to build them better.

Different machines.
Same obsession.
MKIV Supras, a Ducati Diavel, a 2004 Viper, a 2004 Subaru STI, a 1999 Lexus Soarer, and a 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo. Engineering, character, and the joy of the drive.
