Projects
Selected work, sanitized for public sharing — spanning DoD network operations and a self-hosted, enterprise-grade homelab.
ENTERPRISE VIRTUALIZATION HOMELAB — Dual-socket Dell PowerEdge host on Proxmox with iDRAC out-of-band management, running multiple production-style VM workloads.
ZERO-TRUST NETWORK & FIREWALL — Segmented network on OPNsense with VLAN isolation and Twingate zero-trust remote access; periodic Nessus / OpenVAS vulnerability scans and remediation.
STIG COMPLIANCE AUTOMATION — Built a findings database and script that cut DISA STIG scans from hours to minutes for a DoD network team. (Process and tooling only — no sensitive configuration shared.)
SELF-HOSTED AI STACK — Local AI stack (Ollama, Open WebUI, Qdrant vector database) on dedicated GPU hardware, exploring retrieval-augmented generation and private model serving.
EDGE-SECURED WEB SERVICES — Public-facing services behind a Caddy reverse proxy and Cloudflare, managing DNS and TLS end-to-end.
DATA-CENTER OPERATIONS — Authored an asset-auditing guideline bridging a legacy platform and revamped new-hire onboarding to save ~1 week of ramp per hire.
