I thought it might be useful to keep track of my various resumes and skill assessments here. This will help me organize and track my growth over time, making it easier to showcase my skills and experience when needed.
In my opinion, the skills list matters more than anything else here.
The document linked above contains my comprehensive skill set. It’s constantly updated to reflect my experience and expertise, and I believe it provides the most accurate representation of my abilities.
The resume included in this repository is a product of an experiment using a large language model (LLM). While it's an interesting exploration, it may not accurately represent my current professional focus or abilities. Please consider it more as a concept than an official document.
I thought it would be an interesting idea to have the LLM follow a questions-and-answers test and assessments of particular skills. I then followed up with real-life lab work in cases where a skill hadn’t been used in the last year. You might find this interesting.
I did more of these, but I have not gotten to converting and posting them yet.
The following areas reflect demonstrated experience through technical discussions, solution design, and applied implementations. Formal structured assessments are in progress and will be added in future updates.
| Topic Area | Summary of Experience Demonstrated |
|---|---|
| AWS EC2 & Networking | Proven expertise with EC2 provisioning, VPC design, security groups, NACLs, CloudWatch monitoring, and EBS snapshot strategies. |
| WordPress Infrastructure | Extensive work across performance tuning, security hardening, automated backups, and multi-site management. |
| Active Directory | Experience with real-world AD deployment scenarios including DNS integration, DHCP failover, replication, and multi-DC topology. |
| XCP-ng + Xen Orchestra | Actively building deep knowledge in private virtualization stack design and administration. |
| Email Security & Deliverability | Implementation of email authentication protocols (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), with focus on sender reputation and phishing prevention. |
If you're a Tampa Bay business—or any organization with on-site IT staff looking to reduce costs, regain control, or migrate away from VMware or the public cloud—I want to hear from you.
I'm an experienced systems engineer and consultant with strong vendor partnerships across the open-source and enterprise IT landscape.
I help small to mid-sized businesses modernize their infrastructure without compromising reliability or user experience.
Some of the vendors I work closely with:
- Vates – creators of Xen Orchestra and XCP-ng, providing a powerful, open-source virtualization platform that replaces both VMware and Veeam. With built-in disaster recovery, backup, and full enterprise support at a fraction of the cost, it’s a true all-in-one alternative.
- Cisco/Meraki – secure, cloud-managed networking
- TD Synnex – global IT distributor with access to a broad range of solutions
- ixSystems – enterprise-grade storage built on open-source (TrueNAS)
- Pax8 – cloud distributor for SaaS, backup, and security tools
- Ingram Micro – global sourcing for hardware, software, and services
- Ruckus/CommScope – advanced wired and wireless network solutions
Whether you need a second opinion, a project lead, or someone who can deliver a complete solution with minimal overhead, let’s talk.
