Software, infrastructure & a little curiosity

Hi, I’m Dawson Hoot.
I like building things.

I work on software, run my own infrastructure, and build tools that make day-to-day tasks easier. This is a home for what I’m working on and the things I’m interested in.

A little about me

From writing code
to running servers.

I’m interested in both sides of a project: making the software and understanding the systems it runs on. My work includes web applications, FiveM tools, Discord bots, and self-hosted services.

Hoot Technologies is the name I use for my software and infrastructure work. It’s one part of what I do, and many of the projects here live under that name.
