Work, not just a tool list
Practical solutions for real technical challenges.
Good technical work starts with understanding the real problem—not reaching for the most complicated solution.
These projects span client support, access management, networking, WordPress, front-end development, and controlled cybersecurity practice. Each one reflects the same priorities: clear scope, careful execution, validation, and usable documentation.
Featured work
Four projects. Four different operating environments.
Client systems · 2016–present
Small-business IT consulting
Context: Small teams need dependable technology without a large internal IT department.
Work: Cross-platform troubleshooting, router and VPN setup, account support, patching, backups, website maintenance, and practical security reviews.
Value: Fewer recurring problems, clearer priorities, and documentation clients can reuse.
TOOLS: Windows · macOS · Linux · Networking · VPN · WordPress
Controlled lab · Ongoing
Cybersecurity home lab
Context: Security skills need safe, repeatable environments for hands-on practice.
Work: Built isolated Kali Linux, Windows, and Linux virtual machines for network discovery, vulnerability assessment, log review, and incident-response exercises.
Value: Repeatable testing, stronger analysis habits, and experience translating findings into remediation priorities.
TOOLS: VirtualBox · Kali Linux · Nmap · Wireshark · Nessus/OpenVAS · Splunk
Remote operations · Oct 2020–Oct 2021
Contract IT operations
Context: A remote operation needed consistent ticket handling, access support, and technical follow-through.
Work: Managed HubSpot tickets, user provisioning, backend access, app and subscription issues, web updates, and remote troubleshooting.
Value: Clearer issue tracking, dependable user support, and more organized account administration.
TOOLS: HubSpot · User provisioning · Access control · SaaS support · Web troubleshooting
Web systems · Ongoing
Web development & WordPress
Context: Small organizations need websites they can understand, maintain, and improve.
Work: Built and maintained sites, resolved layout and front-end issues, updated content, and connected analytics or dashboard tools.
Foundation: General Assembly JavaScript Development Bootcamp and freeCodeCamp full-stack coursework.
TOOLS: WordPress · HTML · CSS · JavaScript · Git/GitHub · Analytics
A repeatable working method
Scope. Build. Validate. Document.
01 / SCOPE
Define the need
Clarify users, systems, constraints, business impact, and the desired outcome.
02 / BUILD
Implement carefully
Make focused changes using the simplest approach that fits the environment.
03 / VALIDATE
Test the result
Confirm expected behavior, check likely edge cases, and communicate remaining limitations.
04 / DOCUMENT
Make it reusable
Leave clear notes, next steps, and instructions that reduce future guesswork.
Capabilities across the stack
Support, systems, web, and security—connected.
The strongest projects draw on more than one discipline. A website issue may begin with DNS. An access problem may expose a process gap. A network fix may need better documentation to stay fixed.
