Persephone National Park is a whitelist PvE server

focused on the environmental and survival aspects of Rust, immersive gameplay, a respectful community, and creative exploration.

Website: persephonepark.com

The beginnings of Persephone coalesced in 2016 after a small community, brought together by happenstance, began to yearn for a unique and private Rust experience. In early 2018, after attempts to establish and promote the concept on other servers, I was finally convinced by a dear friend to give our idea the dedicated home it deserved. Consequently, I acquired my own server and began developing all the portions of what would eventually become Persephone National Park.

This effort included an in-character website on a specialized CMS, establishing a new online and in-game brand, game server construction and extensive research & configuration, PHP development and secure webhook integrations between web and game servers, JS integrations between website and game server JSON exports, exclusive C# game plugin development, automated Artisan processes, authoring a custom NodeJS > Discord Bot, building a membership system with rules, applications, roles, audits, and automation processes, and much more.

For
years,

I have planned, constructed, and maintained cabling, multimedia, and infrastructure systems for individuals and commercial entities alike. Whether through my own entrepreneurial efforts or as part of my career responsibilities, I have always embraced challenges and devoted myself to mastering tools and methods. With exceptionally thorough research and collaborative consultation, my installs concentrate on several key fundamentals: accessibility, adaptability, fulfillment, maintainability, necessity, organization, stability, and where applicable, redundancy and scalability.

With a healthy appetite for problem-solving,

I have dedicated this facet of my career to the attentive implementation of ideas and organizational excellence. The beauty of information technology lies within its volatility; because it is always evolving, it encourages us to grow and learn. Accordingly, there is immense satisfaction in the researching and provisioning of IT solutions that solve problems, optimize efficiency, and illuminate opportunities.

While my > Cabling field experience shares many parallels with my IT skills in a production environment, there are several vendor or task-specific proficiencies I have nurtured due to project demands:
