U.S. Air Force veteran and CompTIA-certified IT professional. I run help desk and Windows / Microsoft 365 support today, and I'm building toward cloud and security engineering β least-privilege, auditable, documented so the next person doesn't have to guess.
π’ Open to IT Support / Help Desk / Systems Administration roles in Chicagoland (on-site or hybrid).
βοΈ Cloud
- aws-cloud-projects β Hands-on AWS labs: S3 + CloudFront static site and IAM least-privilege roles with CloudWatch alarms.
- terraform-aws-secure-baseline β Terraform reference module for a secure-by-default AWS S3 baseline (encryption, public-access block, versioning) + least-privilege IAM.
fmt/validateclean. - cf-workers-ai-digest β A scheduled digest on Cloudflare Workers: a cron trigger runs a Workers AI model and posts the result to a webhook, with a secret-gated preview-before-post path and no external API key. Unit-tested.
π Security
- webhook-auth-patterns β Authenticating inbound webhooks the right way: shared-secret, HMAC-SHA256, and Ed25519 β timing-safe, replay-resistant, with runnable examples.
- m365-email-security β SPF, DKIM & DMARC plus a least-privilege Microsoft Entra app, with the why behind each piece.
- dmarc-report-analyzer β Parses DMARC aggregate (RUA) reports into a readable summary: SPF/DKIM alignment, per-source breakdown, and top failures. Stdlib-only Python, tested.
βοΈ Automation
- powershell-it-toolkit β Help-desk + M365 / Active Directory automation (onboarding, offboarding) and Windows performance diagnostics (health report, page-file, cache cleanup).
- ad-automation-toolkit β PowerShell for Active Directory admin: bulk onboarding, offboarding, stale-account reports, and group audits β Pester-tested, with
-WhatIfsupport. - net-triage β A help-desk network triage CLI: DNS, TCP ports, HTTP, and latency checks rolled into a PASS/WARN/FAIL report. Stdlib-only Python, tested.
- kb-health β An LLM-powered linter for a folder of Markdown docs: finds contradictions, orphan pages, stale claims, and missing topics, then writes a report. Stdlib-only Python CLI.
- job-alert-bot β Multi-source job-listing alert bot: polls USAJobs, Adzuna, SerpAPI, and Greenhouse/Lever boards, scores postings with deterministic rules, dedups in SQLite, and delivers a Telegram digest. Tested, with a systemd deploy.
π₯οΈ Self-hosting
- homelab β Self-hosted services on Ubuntu / Docker, accessed securely over a Tailscale mesh VPN.
Deepening AWS (IAM, networking, infrastructure-as-code with Terraform) and security fundamentals while finishing a B.S. in Cloud Computing at WGU.

Air Force Security Forces veteran β IT. I like fixing things, locking them down, and writing it down so the next person doesn't have to guess.
