I move signal for a living.
IT infrastructure engineer, cyber-security student and licensed amateur radio operator. I keep networks, servers and signals online — from the Cloudflare edge to the 2-metre band.
Hi, I'm Josh.
The operator behind the callsign — engineer, student, founder and radio amateur.
- IT Engineer.
- Cyber Security Student.
- Founder of Gander Web.

A timeline of signal & systems
Each station on the line is a milestone. Select one to open the log.
A constellation of skills
Ten disciplines, one network. Hover a cluster to trace its technologies and depth of experience.
- TCP/IP6y
- VLANs
- Firewalls
- DNS
- BGP
- VPN / WireGuard
One network, edge to core
A live topology of the platforms I run — traffic flows from clients at the Cloudflare edge, through a zero-trust tunnel, to a colocated Proxmox cluster and edge compute. Hover any node to trace its role.
Working the bands
A software-defined receiver view of the station — select a band, watch the waterfall, and trace great-circle paths from the grid square.
The rigs on the desk
Three radios cover the station — HF DX, local VHF/UHF and digital DMR. Select one to open its specifications.
The QSL automation platform
When a contact is logged in WSJT-X, a card should just arrive. This pipeline turns a decoded QSO into a rendered QSL card in the operator's inbox — end to end, automatically.
- Listens to WSJT-X UDP telemetry in real time
- Validates and logs every decoded QSO
- Renders a branded QSL card to PDF automatically
- Delivers to the operator's inbox — zero manual steps
Managed hosting, properly run
The company I founded — managed hosting, cloud and IT services on a security-first Cloudflare stack. This is the live service board.
Fully managed web hosting with edge caching, backups and 24/7 monitoring.
High-frequency AMD Ryzen virtual servers with NVMe storage.
Proactive IT support, endpoint management and helpdesk for SMBs.
Tenant setup, migration, security and licensing management.
Domain registration and DNS on Cloudflare's global network.
Scalable cloud infrastructure with zero-trust access.
Managed hosting, Ryzen VPS, Microsoft 365 and domains — on the Cloudflare edge.
Every signal has a bearing
A live great-circle map. Reception reports for the station are pulled from PSKReporter and plotted in real time — drag the globe, click a spot to inspect the path.
Let's make contact
Whether it's infrastructure, a hosting project or a sked on the bands — the log is open. Here's my digital QSL card.
