SysAdmin by day, Mysterioso by Night.


Uptime is a lifestyle. So is BlueFox.

I'm Joe Wilker, Infrastructure Manager at Edgewood University in Madison, Wisconsin. I also build websites, tinker with electronics, and am constructing a TARDIS Replica.

The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trial.

About

I'm an Infrastructure Manager at Edgewood University with over 30+ years of experience in information technology.

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls with a Liberal Arts degree, majoring in Computer Science and Information Systems, with a minor in Mass Communications (television emphasis).

In 1994 I co-authored the first high school website in the State of Wisconsin. Since then I've built blogs, forums, college sites, large business sites, and e-commerce stores using HTML, PHP, JavaScript, MySQL and MS SQL, C++, and VBScript.
