Linc
(he/him/they/them)

Serves as BlackBoots’ IT Director: part systems engineer, part digital groundskeeper, and part eldritch horror before coffee, keeping the wires, boxes, websites, and mysterious blinking lights in line.

With over a decade of experience in systems engineering, automation, backend development, web hosting, and infrastructure support, Linc handles the technical scaffolding that helps BlackBoots function behind the scenes. From a home lab that may rival enterprise infrastructure, ^(?:t?h[ei][ym]?)$ build and maintain tools, troubleshoot problems, document processes, and help ensure the organization has the technical resources it needs.

Linc is often summoned from the shadows shortly after “turning it off and back on again” stops working.
