Welcome to my website. This was created with GitHub Pages, Vim, PHP, and some spare time. I want this to serve as a "Portfolio" of sorts for my various homelab and Linux related projects that I have done in my spare time. My goal is to pivot my career path away from construction and into IT or web design.
I have an extensive background in customer-facing roles, spanning the entirety of my adult working life. I am personable, patient, and easy to talk to, which I believe makes me a good candidate for Helpdesk Technician roles. I plan to aquire my A+ certification by the end of 2026.
While I am completely self-taught in the field of Computer Science, my genuine passion for it has allowed me to become relatively competent. Below, you can see a list of my projects. Some images have been included for reference, though they may not be actual pictures of said projects.
Jellyfin Media Server - Homemade Netflix. This allowed me to stream all of my legally purchased, digital movies and home videos from any of my devices.
NFS File Server - Google Drive at Home. Using Ubuntu 24.04 and Docker, created a networked file system that allowed me to access my personal files from any device.
Pi-Hole Ad Blocker - This is a Network-Wide advertisment blocking program that redirects your home networks DNS queries to a computer that you own and contains a list of known advertisment domains. The program blocks them from connecting to your home router and allows you to browse the internet, ad-free, on any device. I deployed this on a Debian 11 installation in 2022.
Avionics Installation - I worked in aviation for 3 years, doing conversions and new installations of flight computers and navigation systems in corporate and private aircraft. This work regularly involved troubleshooting connection issues, accessing computers and ports in tight spaces, and making new Ethernet and D-SUB (VGA) cables by hand. Some of my work includes Gulfstream G650, Embraer 135/145LR, Bombardier Challenger 350, and Beechcraft Bonanzas.
This is not an exhaustive list of all my projects, rather, I hope that it will help you understand that I am more than what my resume may lead you to believe.
