Developer portfolio / Phoenix, Arizona
React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, APIs, and deployed products
I build practical web applications and document the systems behind them. My strongest work combines frontend polish, backend APIs, production deployment, and the troubleshooting habits from a live homelab. For developer roles, start with the featured software projects below.
Developer proof
Four focused projects for developer applications. They show deployed products, frontend and backend work, API integration, authentication, realtime systems, and production QA.
AI / Full stack
Next.js, TypeScript, OpenAI Vision, OpenAI TTS, Vercel
A deployed app that turns uploaded images into spoken descriptions. It proves API routing, file upload flow, binary MP3 responses, browser audio playback, and practical AI product thinking.
Best proof for a dev role: deployed AI feature, server route protection, audio generation, and user-centered UX in one focused product.
Client delivery
Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Resend, SEO, Vercel
A production website for a tutoring business with responsive UI, custom domain deployment, SEO metadata, sitemap, robots, and contact email flow.
Shows real client delivery: product polish, email integration, deployment QA, and production ownership.
Realtime app
React, Node.js, Express, Socket.IO, MongoDB, JWT Auth, Cloudinary
A full stack messaging app with realtime communication, authenticated routes, online presence, persistent messages, and image upload support.
Shows full stack boundaries: React UI, Express API, database persistence, auth, sockets, and media handling.
Developer tooling
React, TypeScript, Monaco Editor, Node.js, Stream, Piston API
A coding interview workspace with editor, video/chat workflow, session state, and sandboxed code execution through Piston.
Shows developer-tool thinking: Monaco integration, TypeScript UI, session orchestration, and sandbox-aware execution.
Active challenge
Building, breaking, and documenting one new skill or system per day. Every session gets a writeup.
Working across network security, DNS filtering, traffic analysis, Docker infrastructure, and Linux automation. Logging everything I build, break, and learn.
What I work with
Built and documented
Hands-on lab work across security, infrastructure, and automation. Configs and scripts live on GitHub.
Active Directory
Stood up a Windows Server domain, managed users, OUs, and security groups, and automated account operations through the PowerShell Active Directory module.
Automated bulk account tasks with PowerShell, cutting repetitive setup to a single command.
Microsoft 365 and Entra ID
Configured a Microsoft 365 tenant, managed accounts, licenses, and groups, enforced multi-factor authentication, and built onboarding and offboarding runbooks.
Built a repeatable provisioning checklist covering AD, Entra ID, and mailbox setup in one pass.
Wireshark and DNS
Captured real traffic across Wi-Fi and Tailscale interfaces, filtered DNS and TCP handshakes, and identified Chrome DoH bypassing Pi-hole plus Windows WPAD proxy-discovery noise.
Remediated both findings and documented packet evidence, interface-selection lesson, TLS visibility limits, and practical analysis workflow.
Pi-hole and Unbound
Deployed Pi-hole with Unbound for fully recursive DNS resolution, eliminating third-party resolver dependencies and enabling network-wide filtering with per-client query logging.
Analyzed my own DNS traffic to surface noisy clients, unusual query patterns, and logging anomalies.
Monitoring and Docker
Deployed Uptime Kuma in Docker, configured HTTP and ping checks across services, and wired push alerts through a scoped ntfy account for real-time notifications.
Diagnosed a silent alert failure from container network isolation and fixed it with internal Docker service routing.
Ticketing and ITSM
Built a working ticket queue with categories, priorities, and SLA targets, then designed triage rules and documented resolution playbooks for the most common request types.
Triage rules routed common requests automatically, keeping first response inside target.
Field notes
Technical notes from the home lab — what I built, what broke, and what I learned. Sprint updates also posted on LinkedIn.
Positioned for IT professional engineer roles where software delivery, infrastructure troubleshooting, automation, and production ownership matter. Remote or Phoenix, AZ. Let's connect.
