I'm a System Administrator at Main Street Produce, a vertically integrated agricultural company that manages every step in house, from farming to cooling and shipping. I support IT across that whole operation, covering infrastructure, security, and end-user support, and I build automation to cut out manual work. I studied Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, Merced, and I keep learning outside of work through my home lab projects. Feel free to reach out through any of the links below.

Projects 👨‍💻

Home Network Firewall and Segmentation

Sep. 2026 — Present

An OPNsense firewall that moves my servers onto an isolated segment, separated from the house LAN, with Suricata IDS watching traffic in and out of that segment. Remote access runs through a Tailscale VPN subnet router with access rules, and management is hardened with key-only SSH and TOTP.

Home Server Cluster

Mar. 2025 — Present

A Proxmox cluster running LXC-hosted Docker apps. Services are secured with SSL behind an Nginx reverse proxy on a personal domain, and everything is backed up weekly to a RAID 1 NAS with an offsite hard drive copy.
