👋 Hey there

I’m Cliph (Cliff Flood), a lifelong internet solutioneer with a deep love for automation, infrastructure, and building elegant sys tems that just work. I’ve been doing this for nearly 30 years — from VOIP to Jenkins, SaltStack to Docker, and from high-availabil ity web platforms to homegrown mesh VPNs.

Right now, I run unixadmin.ca as a consultancy, and use cli.ph as a more personal touchpoint.

🔭 Currently focused on

• Migrating and modernizing Jenkins infrastructure for high-resilience builds
• Building a Docker-based Plex and Pi-hole home server via Ansible
• Helping clients implement secret management, cost optimizations, and audit processes

🌱 Outside of work

• Exploring the world with a DJI drone or two
• Cooking elaborate casseroles
