About me.
Systems administrator, tool builder, and homelab tinkerer.
Who am I?
I'm Swatto — a systems administrator with a habit of building tools when the right one doesn't already exist.
SwatLab is my personal space for sharing the tools I write and anything else I find worth paying attention to. Everything here is built for real-world use — nothing is theoretical fluff.
Most of what I build starts because something was missing or painful to use. I write the tool, it scratches the itch, and I put it here.
Quick facts
- Systems administration background
- Builds tools to scratch an itch

What I build with
Tools are written to scratch an itch — something I needed that didn't exist, or something that existed but was painful to use.
Rust
Performance-critical tools and anything that needs to be reliable in hostile environments.
PowerShell
Windows administration, automation scripts, and anything touching Active Directory or enterprise environments.
C#
Tooling with richer UIs and anything that integrates tightly with the .NET / Windows ecosystem.
