Kubernetes Platform
Deployed a production-style k3s cluster with AWS-hosted master and homelab worker nodes. Automated provisioning and security groups using Terraform. Integrated Prometheus & Grafana for real-time monitoring and alerting, demonstrating hybrid-cloud resiliency and observability.
Cloud Resume Challenge 2.0
Rebuilt the Cloud Resume Challenge with a modern Next.js + Tailwind stack, leveraging server-side rendering for performance and interactivity. Integrated dynamic features for resume updates and portfolio visibility, aligning with enterprise-grade web development practices.
Enterprise Grade Homelab
Designed and deployed contanerized services with Docker/Portainer, fronted by Traefik reverse proxy with automated TLS. Implemented Prometheus/Grafana monitoring and recursive DNS filtering with PiHole and Unbound, creating a secure production-style sandbox for testing cloud-native architectures.
Menu-Based PowerShell Automation
Developed a modular PowerShell tool adopted by coworkers to streamline user, printer, and workstation lookups in Active Directory. Saved 2-3 minutes per call, reducing daily ticket resolution time across the team reinforcing repeatable documentation practices.

Beyond the Classroom
While formal education provides the foundation, I believe the most valuable learning in technology comes from hands-on experimentation and real-world problem solving.
My homelab serves as a continuous learning environment where I explore cutting-edge technologies, test infrastructure patterns, and experiment with emerging tools before they become mainstream in enterprise environments.
