Available for Hire
I’m looking for a role where I build and maintain infrastructure, ship internal tools, and solve security problems.
What I Bring
Infrastructure
Infrastructure as code across AWS and Azure. Containerization. Serverless and traditional deployments. Hybrid cloud environments bridging on-premises and cloud. I build things that stay up and cost less than you’d expect.
Security
Cloud security monitoring and hardening. Custom vulnerability scanning. Penetration testing. Auth system design. Endpoint protection, network firewalls, and VPN solutions. I close gaps, not just check boxes.
Enterprise IT
Active Directory and identity management. Microsoft 365 and Azure administration. Backup and disaster recovery. Network security across Fortinet, SonicWall, and pfSense. I’ve managed infrastructure across multiple locations.
Development
Full-stack web applications in Python, PHP, JavaScript, and Bash. Relational and NoSQL databases. API design and testing. CLI tools and automation.
AI & Automation
Production applications on LLM APIs. Local model inference and fine-tuning. I integrate AI into real systems, not demos.
What I Want
- Infrastructure ownership - I want to build it, run it, and fix it when it breaks
- Security work that goes beyond checkbox compliance
- A team that ships
- Open to companies of any size; particular interest in roles where I own a stack end-to-end
- Remote preferred, open to relocation with assistance
Portfolio
This site is the portfolio. It runs on the same stack I’d build for you - infrastructure as code, cloud-hosted, automated deployment. The code, blog posts, and tools here are production work, not exercises.
- Scripts - Production-ready automation for Linux, macOS, and Windows
- Tools - Privacy-first browser tools, no data collection, runs entirely client-side
- Documentation - Technical guides from real implementations
- Posts - Technical write-ups and security insights
Availability
Available immediately.
