Strategic technology leader with over 20 years of experience in enterprise infrastructure, cloud transformation, and high-availability systems. I specialize in bridging the gap between complex business requirements and sustainable, scalable technology solutions.
Beyond the enterprise, I am an active researcher and DIY engineer focused on LLMOps, Distributed Computing, and Observational Astronomy.
I am currently working through a structured 6-month curriculum to master the "Big Three" AI ecosystems and the major development platforms.

My personal GitHub is a unified environment where infrastructure meets intelligence. All projects are integrated via a centralized monitoring and security framework.
Jupiter | Distributed Edge Cluster
A high-availability, 6-node Raspberry Pi 5 cluster running Fedora Linux. This serves as the primary compute engine for local LLM inference, microservices, and laboratory automation.
TON618 | Network Security & Traffic Hub
The laboratory’s security anchor, providing DNS-sinkholing (Pi-hole), encrypted remote access (WireGuard), and local traffic orchestration.
GAIA | Generative AI Assistant
A modular LLMOps and RAG framework designed for agentic workflows. GAIA handles complex reasoning by integrating local data with Large Language Models.
miniNORAD | ADS-B Telemetry & Telegraph Alerts
A real-time aerial data pipeline and hardware tracking station. Features the Telegraph notification engine for near-instant alerts on Military, VIP, and Medevac aircraft.
Lazy-8 | Analemma Astrophotgraphy
A year-long chronophotography and solar dynamics project documenting the Equation of Time through precision optics and environmental logging.
Theia | Grid Computing BOINC Cluster (Retired)
Theia provides a high-density BOINC cluster for grid computing projects such as Einstein@Home, Asteroids@home, and PrimeGrid.
