This collection highlights my technical work — from architecting a full-featured homelab to deploying domain services, custom configurations, and collaborative infrastructure. Each project reflects hands-on experience, troubleshooting ability, and a deep interest in systems administration and networking.
Featured Projects
Homelab Infrastructure Build-Out
- Designed and maintain a virtualization and routing environment using Proxmox, Windows Server 2022, OpenWrt, and mixed Intel/AMD hardware.
- Deployed domain controllers, Linux and Windows clients, and custom firewall policies for secure segmentation.
- Demonstrates enterprise-level system administration and troubleshooting in a self-hosted setting.
WireGuard VPN + VPS Integration
- Built secure WireGuard VPN tunnels between my OpenWrt router, a collaborator’s network in Florida, and external VPS nodes.
- Tuned routing, MTU, and encryption for seamless cross-site connectivity.
- Enabled encrypted communication and resource sharing across distributed networks.
Asterisk VoIP System with ATA & IP Phone Integration
- Deployed an Asterisk PBX supporting both analog handsets (Cisco SPA122 ATA) and SIP-native phones (Grandstream GXP1630).
- Configured call routing and dial plans to emulate enterprise PBX features.
- Implemented secure SIP/UDP networking and firewall rules to ensure call quality and controlled access.
Domain Services & Cross-Platform Integration
- Administered Windows Server 2022 Active Directory domain controllers within Proxmox.
- Integrated Windows 11 and Linux (Manjaro with SSSD/
realmd) clients for centralized authentication. - Developed group policies, DNS settings, and account controls in a mixed-OS environment.
In Progress: C++ and Qt 6 Development
- Learning modern C++ and the Qt 6 framework to build cross-platform desktop applications.
- Exploring application structure, signal/slot patterns, and UI/UX design with Qt Designer.
- Long-term goal: create IT-focused diagnostic and automation tools to complement systems expertise.
