Projects

To enhance my comprehensive understanding of diverse subjects over the course of my professional journey, I have undertaken the creation, design, and implementation of a range of projects. Presented here are select examples, offering insights into the valuable lessons garnered from these endeavors.

Dell Server/VMWare

This project created a base for many future projects. First I acquired a Dell server rack, and had to learn how it worked. Then I installed the bare-metal hypervisor ESXi from VMware. I quickly learned how to set up different VMs and how to network the system properly, both physically and through virtual networking. I added several OS that I wanted to be familiar with, including Ubuntu, CentOS, and the open source security platform Security Onion. Wanting to be able to securely access the system outside my home network, I created a VPN which also required me to create a subnet router through which the server could communicate through. I established a SSH connection with the subnet router, allowing a secure method of operation remotely from any device with a browser.

Mobile Command Center

I was commissioned by a local police department to develop a secure communication system linking their mobile command center, hostage negotiation vehicle, and SWAT vehicles, focusing on a method that would prevent any outside source from intercepting the communication. By design, the system was able to be deployed rapidly, without additional efforts. The successful implementation prompted the department to expand the system to additional vehicles, affirming its crucial role in fortifying communication channels and enabling centralized incident command management
