Technical Operations & Infrastructure

I build IT operations that scale when a business grows.

Designing, implementing, and governing the infrastructure, service-delivery, and collaboration platforms that keep complex, growth-oriented companies running, so issues get solved before users feel them.

What I do

Operational clarity, engineered.

Service Governance

KPI & SLA Frameworks

Designing measurable service-delivery models with clear ownership and lanes, so nothing falls between teams and every issue has a home.

Infrastructure Operations

Platform Modernization

Rebuilding and governing the infrastructure and collaboration stack that an organization runs on, from endpoint to datacenter.

AI-Driven Operations

Operationalizing AI

Using intelligent agents and home-built tooling to turn reactive support into proactive detection, before user impact.

Writing

Field notes from running real infrastructure.

The Homelab

Where I prove the ideas I bring to work.

Unraid Server

12-container infra

Media stack, *arr automation, self-hosted tools, and two local LLM inference endpoints running on a single NAS box.

ATX · RTX 3050 · 3×8TB + cache
Local LLMs

Vision + reasoning on-prem

Qwen-class models serving vision and text analysis entirely on local hardware. No cloud, full data ownership.

AI Agent

A working example

A personally engineered agent that runs my homelab and triages incoming work. The lab itself stays off public view.
