Current Personal Projects

These are projects that I work on as time allows between other obligations. My motivations for working on these projects include gaining experience with tech that interests me while giving something back to the free and open-source software community that has been an invaluable source of knowledge and inspiration for me.

Homelab System and Network Administration Projects

  • Proxmox VE Server
    • Nextcloud, Immich, Jellyfin, ZFS Mirror RAID, *Arr services, etc.
  • Ubuntu Server
    • Thin Client running Ubuntu Server, providing DNS, DHCP, DMZ, and VPN services for all devices.
  • Brocade ICX-6430-C12 (12 Port managed Layer 2 switch)
    • VLANs, DMZ, PoE
  • Windows Server and Desktop Administration Lab Using Type 2 Hypervisors
    • Built a Windows domain lab environment that allows me to gain experience deploying services common in Windows environments
      • Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, WDS, WSUS, NTFS Permissions, Network File Shares, Powershell
      • Using pfSense for switching, routing, isolating traffic between servers, clients, and external networks

Web Development Projects

  • TLDP Dark (dark mode user stylesheet for The Linux Documentation Project)
    • This is a custom CSS stylesheet applied using the Stylus browser extension with the goal of increasing legibility and ease of use.
    • I aim to publish the style to UserStyles.world for public use once I am satisfied with it.
  • Paradigm Pet Professionals (fictional company website redesign and redevelopment)
    • This was a UI Design class project that I became very invested in.
