About Aaron Kempf
I’m a hands-on, full-spectrum IT professional with 25+ years of experience spanning SQL Server development, WordPress architecture, Linux systems, and custom automation. I thrive in hybrid technical/managerial roles where I can combine strategic planning with deep system-level execution.As an Office Manager, I oversee financials, estimates, advertising, and client communication — all while maintaining the tech backbone of the business. From custom MS Access applications to QuickBooks Bookkeeping and integration, I ensure operational efficiency is never an afterthought.Technically, my heart lives in SQL. Whether it’s Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or MySQL — if there’s a query to write or a schema to optimize, I’m there. I’ve also built and maintained over 100 WordPress websites, many with custom plugins, eCommerce workflows, marketing automation, and SEO strategies — always with performance, cost-efficiency, and scalability in mind.My recent focus includes: Proxmox and LXC-based Dev/Test environments Custom qBittorrent + Mullvad VPN deployments on TrueNAS SCALE Home lab orchestration and network-level filtering with OPNSense Automating cloud-free workflows using open-source tools like Huginn Python scripting for recursive sitemap crawling, syslog-to-SQL pipelines, and moreI’m passionate about simplifying complexity, cutting waste (financial and technical), and building solutions that just work.
