I got into technology in 8th grade when a friend showed me his PC running Ubuntu Linux. Something clicked that day that never unclicked. I've spent the years since learning how systems actually work — not just how to use them, but how to own them. I believe the best engineers aren't the ones who know the most answers. They're the ones who can't stop asking why.
Get in touch →Designed, programmed, and installed a full fiber ISP serving 200+ residential units across an apartment complex. Built on Ubiquiti infrastructure with a 2Gbps fiber uplink, 10G backbone, and per-unit VLAN segmentation for tenant isolation. Each unit gets its own network — not a shared pipe.
Identified the largest recurring support call driver before it became a problem: residents asking for their WiFi passwords. Built a Python script that generates QR code documents formatted for printing, paired with a leasing office onboarding tool — staff enter a tenant's name, email, and unit number, and the system sends a professional email with their WiFi QR document attached via SMTP. Resident WiFi password calls dropped to zero.
A robot dog built on a SunFounder kit with a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB brain. Jarvis broadcasts its own WiFi network and serves a captive portal where anyone can leave an anonymous message. When a message arrives, Jarvis physically sits up and reads it aloud via Piper TTS. Because why build a robot dog that just walks around?
A Proxmox cluster spanning two physical nodes, hosting production services across Linux VMs. The entire fleet — including remote machines — is connected via a self-hosted Headscale overlay network, providing a private mesh without relying on third-party infrastructure. Named after German WWII warships, because naming things matters.
A database-backed email alias platform built with Python and Flask. Custom Postfix piping routes emails dynamically based on real-time MariaDB lookups — giving full control over email identity without relying on a third-party service.
A custom e-commerce application integrating the Stripe API and Webhooks to automate digital product fulfillment. Backend logic generates unique access tokens and delivers them via local SMTP relay — no third-party fulfillment platform required.
A WiFi-enabled smart lock prototype using microcontrollers, breadboard circuitry, magnetic door sensors, and actuators. A local server API dynamically synchronizes and updates access PINs across multiple simulated locks over the property LAN.
