Infrastructure that scales
From single hosts to clustered environments, I design and maintain virtualization and storage setups that grow with your workloads without surprising you later.
Systems Administrator & Developer
Designing and running reliable systems that stay out of your way.
I'm Crayton Litton — a systems administrator, programmer, and IT systems architect with a focus on high‑performance, high‑availability environments. I care about clean automation, observability, and infrastructure that feels boring in the best possible way.
What I bring to a team
I connect hardware, operating systems, and code into dependable platforms — then make sure they're observable, secure, and maintainable.
Automation that earns its keep
I lean on Python and native tooling to automate repetitive work, reduce human error, and free people up to focus on higher‑value problems.
Security baked in
Through offensive security practice and hardening experience, I approach infrastructure with a security‑first mindset — without making it unusable.
Selected areas of focus
Virtualization
Proxmox & Hyper‑V clusters, live migration, and high‑availability environments.
