I am passionate about IT with over 2 years of professional work experience and much more personal experience. I have built multiple personal servers. I am currently learning Kubernetes using K3S. In my spare time I enjoy small coding projects, especially ones that utilize my server.

Set up K3S to deploy docker containers automatically across several machines.
Linked Dell Micro PCs to form a High Availability cluster for production services using GlusterFS and Ceph storage backend.
Constructed a Home Assistant instance as an offline alternative to Amazon Alexa. My instance processes voice data locally, only reaching online if otherwise unable. The local system will listen for cancel phrases to stop data from being sent to the internet when not wanted. Without this system I would have to manually add each phrase for controling devices. All other data never touches the Internet. One feature is the control of my lights based on presence and time of day.
Used 3CX to test VoIP systems as an alternative to landlines or cable provided VoIP. Switched to FreePBX due to limited SIP provider options.
Set up FreePBX/Asterisk to experiment with phone menu systems and VoIP/SIP.
Deployed SCCM to install Windows 11 over PXE and added several application installers to Software Center using both MSI and EXE installers.
Implemented load balancing and fail over using GNS3. Successfully set up GLBP on Cisco routers, VRRP on Mikrotik, and CARP on PFsense.
Developed a NTP based clock using an Arduino and an E-Ink screen to minimize light pollution. It also displays the power status of my servers.
Wrote a GUI in Python for a full screen clock application that also shows various statuses, inside temperature, and outdoor weather.
Connected an infrared receiver to a Raspberry Pi and used it to control a Wi-Fi enabled device that lacked IR.
