The Journey

My professional journey began with a fundamental fascination for complex systems, evolving from building custom high-performance computing rigs to architecting advanced digital infrastructures. Since 2013, I have specialized in the critical intersection of hardware performance and intelligent software orchestration.


With deep expertise in network security and virtualization, I design autonomous, high-availability environments tailored for mission-critical operations. My experience spans from managing large-scale, liquid-cooled high-density computing operations (2019-2022) to engineering sophisticated, Proxmox-based virtualization ecosystems. Currently focused on formalizing my technical expertise through CompTIA certifications, I partner with organizations to bridge the gap between robust infrastructure and autonomous, intelligent automation.

Core Expertise

01. Intelligence & Automation

Architecting and deploying localized Large Language Models (LLMs), autonomous agentic workflows, and intelligent home automation systems through specialized integration frameworks.

02. Network Engineering

Advanced network engineering with a focus on Cisco and UniFi/Ubiquiti deployments, specializing in secure VLAN segmentation, robust firewall architectures, and integrated NVR security solutions.

03. Virtualization & OS

Full-stack virtualization and OS administration, including Proxmox, Hyper-V, and Docker orchestration across multi-platform environments (Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android).

04. Infrastructure Design

Designing secure, scalable, and high-performance computing architectures optimized for reliability, edge intelligence, and local-first operational integrity.

Technical Projects

The Proxmox Lab

Engineered a comprehensive virtualization ecosystem leveraging a multi-VM and containerized network core to provide resilient, segmented, and highly-available services for modern digital environments.

High-Scale Mining (2019-2022)

Directed a large-scale, liquid-cooled high-density Bitcoin mining operation (500-600 TH) across high-performance hardware clusters, prioritizing thermal efficiency and operational stability.

Starfield Wallpaper Generator

A seamlessly-looping animated starfield wallpaper generator built in Python, designed for OLED panels. Open-source on GitHub — clone, customize, and render your own deep-space backdrops.

Silicon at Scale

A to-scale die-area comparison of NVIDIA's GB200 and AMD's MI455X against the GeForce RTX 5090, 5080 and 5070 Ti, drawn on a common 100 mm² grid. Where the vendors haven't published die sizes, the unknowns are marked and left uncounted rather than guessed.

Arcade

Space Invaders

A high-performance, zero-dependency retro arcade experience built for the modern web. Features procedural starfields and smooth 60FPS canvas rendering.

Realms Project // Minecraft

My self-hosted community Minecraft server, packaged as a one-click Fabric 26.2 modpack: Sodium/Iris performance, Voxy far-render LODs, shaders, and quality-of-life tweaks — with the server address baked in. Download the pack, import it into the Modrinth app (Add content → Import), and hop in.
