DevOps Engineer
10+ Years Experience
About Me
I'm a DevOps Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience in development, automation, and system administration. My journey in tech began at 13 when I founded a gaming community, managing dedicated servers on both Linux and Windows. This early exposure fueled my passion for problem-solving and infrastructure management.
Since then, I've built and optimized various web applications, networking tools, and automation solutions, working across technologies like firewalls, cloud infrastructure, web scraping, and security. I thrive on creating efficient, scalable systems and enjoy sharing my knowledge through detailed guides and technical documentation.
I am actively seeking opportunities in full-stack web development, networking, system engineering, customer support, and technical writing. If you're looking for a versatile and dedicated professional, let's connect!

My Stack
My Primary Projects
Deaconn
A community and future software developer with the goal to bring together and empower developers and engineers.
XDP Firewall
A stateless firewall that utilizes the Linux kernel's XDP hook. The XDP hook allows for very fast network processing on Linux systems. This is great for dropping malicious traffic from a (D)DoS attack.
Packet Batch
A collection of high-performance applications and tools designed for generating and sending network packets. It serves two main purposes: penetration testing, which involves assessing network security by simulating various attacks like Denial of Service (DoS); and network monitoring, which involves analyzing and inspecting network traffic.
The Modding Community
An upcoming inclusive modding community and game developer that currently offers a forum and, in the future, will provide a mod workshop, server browser, and much more! We support popular games like Minecraft, GTA V, Skyrim, Garry's Mod, and many others!
Best Mods
An open source website that serves as an index for game mods and allows users to easily find mods from many sources on the Internet.
Browser.TF
A web-sided server browser for the game Team Fortress 2 I made back in 2015/2016 while in High School. The domain used to be browser.tf and fairly active, but was unfortunately lost in mid-2022. As a result, it is now btf.bestservers.io.
