I am Hugo, the BrokenITGuy.

After years of surgeries and medical issues that apparently had a discount code, I stepped away from IT for about 10 years. Just... vanished.

But turns out sitting on the couch felt worse than the actual pain, so here we are. I'm thinking and trying to rebuild something of a career I thought was done with.

I'm also homeschooling my son, who has ADHD as creatively destructive as mine, gaming with him when my spine isn't cosplaying as a pinched nerve, and learning what it means to actually do things again. It's not great yet, but it's better.

This vlog is that messy reality:

• 🔹 Me attempting homelab networking at 3 am, fueled by Pepsi and pure stubbornness.
• 🔹 Cert grinds that humble me weekly.
• 🔹 A kid who laughs at my pain in the best way.
• 🔹 Me figuring out how to be alive again.

I'm open to topics, discussions, and ideas—throw them at me.

But fair warning: I'm learning all of this as I go, so don't be surprised if there's time between posts and videos. I'm not good at any of this yet. But I'm trying.

No filters. No fake motivation poster energy. Just real life, broken hardware, and the beautiful disaster of trying.
