Dallas, TX — Open to opportunities
Network engineer in the making. Datacenter technician by trade. I build infrastructure that disappears—so everything else can breathe.
About
I make things connect.
I keep servers alive at night.
I'm studying to architect the cloud itself.
With a background spanning datacenter operations, hardware maintenance, and cloud infrastructure, I bring a hands-on perspective to every technical challenge. Currently pursuing a B.S. in Cloud and Network Engineering at WGU while holding certifications across CompTIA, AWS, Azure, and ITIL.
I'm building toward a career in network engineering and cloud infrastructure—the kind of work where architecture decisions shape how businesses scale. I combine real-world datacenter experience with a growing portfolio of cloud skills and a commitment to learning that doesn't stop.
Experience
Four roles, two industries, one consistent theme: showing up, solving problems, and making things run smoother than before.
C.H. Reynolds
Hardware installations, upgrades, and decommissioning of server and network equipment. Diagnosing and resolving failures in production environments—failed components, drive replacements, and connectivity issues—where uptime is non-negotiable.
IBM SoftLayer
Performed hardware installations and maintenance in enterprise-scale datacenter environments. Tracked and maintained real-time asset inventory using internal platforms to support cloud resource provisioning for IBM's global infrastructure.
Walmart
Managed high-volume inventory operations, warehouse logistics, and real-time stock organization. Developed a reputation for efficiency, accuracy under pressure, and supporting team operations on tight timelines.
Einstein Bros Bagels
Led inventory management, staff training, and operational procedures. Analyzed sales trends and implemented improvements. Managed the day-to-day rhythm of a full-service retail environment with a customer-first mindset.

Projects
001
A Python-based home network monitoring dashboard that tracks device uptime, bandwidth usage, and alerts for unusual activity. Built on a Raspberry Pi with a lightweight web UI.
Coming Soon002
An AWS-hosted static resume site with a visitor counter backed by DynamoDB and Lambda, following the Cloud Resume Challenge spec. Deployed via SAM and CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions.
Coming Soon003
A collection of Bash scripts for automating server hardening on fresh Ubuntu/Debian installs—covering SSH lockdown, firewall rules, user permissions, and automated audit logging.
Coming Soon004
A personal virtualization lab built with Proxmox, running simulated network topologies using GNS3. Used for CCNA-track study, VLAN segmentation labs, and routing protocol practice.
Coming Soon005
A Python tool that wraps nmap to generate visual network topology maps. Discovers live hosts, open ports, and OS fingerprints, then renders an interactive graph with D3.js.
Coming Soon006
A lightweight internal asset management tool built with FastAPI and a SQLite backend. Tracks rack positions, hardware specs, warranty status, and decommission schedules with a minimal dashboard UI.
Coming SoonLet's connect
I'm actively looking for opportunities in network engineering, cloud infrastructure, and technical support roles. If something here resonated—I'd love to talk.
