Brendan Coen
@brendancoen
I'm a Computer Science major who took a detour into real estate and is now trying to transition to IT.
What I'm looking for
At CoEntropy, I've provided tier 1 and tier 2 IT support for individuals and small businesses since 2025, resolving hardware, software, network, and access issues across Windows, macOS, and Linux. I build and maintain practical infrastructure including Active Directory, routers, switches, WireGuard VPNs, firewall rules, a self-hosted osTicket help desk, and a searchable knowledge base.
I've also managed 500+ high-stakes client transactions at Coldwell Banker Realty, bringing calm, precise documentation and confidentiality to deadline-driven work.
My hands-on labs include Windows Server, internal PKI, Suricata IDS, Pi-hole DNS, and a Go/PostgreSQL web application.
