github portfolio
I build compact dashboards, command-line utilities, embedded projects, and personal web apps that solve specific jobs without extra ceremony.
professional experience
5+ years resolving complex SaaS workflows, leading escalations, and building tooling that scales support quality.
Escalations and root cause analysis on enterprise leave management; built internal AI support tooling on the Claude API.
Led a team of ~8 analysts on a regulated US crypto exchange; cut average ticket resolution time 65%.
End-to-end SaaS implementations and training for K-12 school districts.
featured work
Moderated tech and tech-adjacent job board for Appalachia. The static frontend is backed by Firebase, Cloud Functions, Algolia search, Netlify redirects, Cloudflare Turnstile, structured job pages, and required compensation fields.
GemStone IV skill trainer helper that injects bulk rank controls into the browser page. It is a client-side JavaScript bookmarklet, so it stores no login data, sends nothing to a server, and works directly on the existing trainer UI.
Self-hosted AI desktop buddy built around a Waveshare ESP32-S3 AMOLED robot face and a Raspberry Pi server stack. The plan combines xiaozhi-esp32 firmware, Docker services, wake word, ASR, LLM, TTS, memory, and MCP automation.
Premium static storefront for bootable Linux USB drives. The site pairs a dark teal/orange brand system with a curated distro catalog, Snipcart commerce wiring, product metadata, and operational scripts for USB flashing workflows.
Early-stage Debian stable KDE distribution project with a live-build ISO scaffold, QEMU smoke tests, build scripts, decision logs, package policy, release checklist, and branding system for a maintainable community desktop.
Pi-hole v6 stats display for the ESP32-2432S028R Cheap Yellow Display. It polls the local Pi-hole API, rotates through three TFT slides, and presents block rate, query totals, cached traffic, clients, and gravity list size.
homelab
Running self-hosted infrastructure on hardware I control, because owning your stack teaches you things SaaS never will. The "void" network spans a daily driver, a Pi Docker host serving Pi-hole DNS filtering and a reverse-proxied app stack, and a dedicated Home Assistant OS machine automating the house: Zigbee sensors and devices, solar-powered plant monitors, and smart-home routines. Tailscale mesh networking stitches it all together, keeping every node reachable securely from anywhere without opening a single port.
The daily driver and project bench. CachyOS on Plasma 6 / Wayland, fish in ghostty with BigBlueTerm Nerd Font. Ryzen 7 5700G APU driving a 1440p / 100 Hz panel on integrated Vega; a discrete RDNA card is queued as the next upgrade. Btrfs root, Tailscale-attached. Most projects originate here before pieces migrate out to voidberry or voidframe.
Docker stack running on a USB SSD. Tailscale punches through CGNAT for remote access; rclone + systemd timers handle automated Google Drive backups.
Dedicated Home Assistant machine with a Zigbee coordinator, LILYGO T-Higrow plant sensors (soil moisture, conductivity, light, temp) on solar panels, and a Tuya device fleet. Roadmap: HA MCP server integration for Claude Desktop and a self-hosted voice assistant.
