Hello! I’m Joe Laskowski, an accomplished IT professional and passionate problem solver with a strong affinity for technology. For over 20 years, I’ve been delivering exceptional service within the IT industry, driven by my insatiable curiosity and commitment to innovation.

My Journey into Technology

I’ve always been captivated by the transformative power of technology—its ability to solve complex problems and open new doors of opportunity. This lifelong fascination guided me into a fulfilling career in Information Technology, where I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with some of the industry’s most brilliant minds. Currently, I hold the position of Lead Engineer at Aunalytics, a prestigious IT firm celebrated for its cutting-edge, AI-driven solutions throughout the Midwest. In this role, I wear multiple hats: I serve as the go-to Linux subject matter expert, provide comprehensive internal support, and also contribute to our Security Operations Center (SOC) as an analyst. Each day presents a new challenge and a chance to innovate, and I couldn’t be more excited about what the future holds.

Beyond the Professional Realm

When I’m not immersed in IT, I delve into various activities that fuel my curiosity and passion. I’ve been using the Linux operating system daily for over 16 years, reveling in the challenges of a terminal environment. I also explore the fascinating world of cryptocurrency, primarily focusing on $XRP and $XLM. I enjoy tinkering with AI tools for generating unique and intriguing art.

Outside of technology, I delight in exploring the rich flavors of craft beers - mainly double IPAs and robust stouts. As a self-proclaimed hot-wing connoisseur, I constantly search for the perfect spicy bite. My fondness for the Star Wars universe often occupies my free time as I eagerly discuss and dissect every detail of the franchise.

Family and Community

Family is essential to me, and I’m blessed to have three incredible children and four delightful grandchildren who always amaze me with their boundless energy and zest for life. I hail from South Bend, Indiana, a vibrant and dynamic city known for its rich history, strong sense of community, and diverse cultural offerings. I take pride in my roots and cherish the memories and experiences shaped by growing up in this beautiful and welcoming place.
