Experience with Cloudflare DNS and proxy configuration, custom TLS/SSL certificate deployment, and monitoring WAF/intrusion detection alerts.
Linux Systems
I've been running my own computers off of Linux for years now and have real experience configuring and using linux systems!
Network Traffic Analysis
I've implemented wireshark in multiple learning environments and homelabs. I will be adding projects to demonstrate those abilities soon!
Web Security
Experience with Cloudflare, custom TLS/SSL certificate configuration, and monitoring WAF/intrusion detection alerts.

Projects
Ongoing
Building a Multi-GPU Compute Node
Building a custom multi-GPU server from server-grade components, both as a hands-on hardware and infrastructure project and as a long-term platform for self-hosted AI work — running and experimenting with my own AI agents, assistants, and LLMs once operational
Finished
Building a Cloud-Based SOC Lab with Microsoft Sentinel (Azure)
Building a Security Operations Center lab in Microsoft Azure to gain hands-on experience with the detection and analysis workflow of a real SOC environment.
Managing and Securing The Evidence Vault: A Live WordPress Media Platform
A stable, actively maintained media platform running since mid-2025, with integrated analytics, email marketing, and layered security (platform-level WAF/intrusion detection plus application-level brute-force protection).
Deploying a Custom Domain on AWS Lightsail with Cloudflare DNS and SSL
Fully deployed, secured personal domain running on AWS Lightsail, with Cloudflare-managed DNS, email routing, and end-to-end HTTPS enforced at both the server and browser level. Gained hands-on experience with DNS record types, certificate authorities and the TLS handshake, and diagnosing infrastructure issues layer by layer rather than guessing at fixes.
Building TCP Port Scanner in Python from Scratch
Working port scanner with IP and port validation. Demonstrated skills in Python including the use of while and for loops, function creation and implementation, if, elif, else logic, importing standard Python libraries, etc. Demonstrated active and working knowledge of TCP, IP connections with socket module.
