Technical Stack & Operational Capabilities
This page reflects the technologies I use, the environments I manage, and the standards I uphold. I build and secure systems from the ground up β from hypervisors and networking to AI pipelines and client-facing automation. Whether self-hosted or deployed in the cloud, every decision is informed by performance, auditability, and long-term reliability.
π§± Infrastructure & Virtualization
- Hypervisors: Proxmox, XCP-ng, nested lab environments
- Public Cloud: Private Ansible & Ubuntu OpenStack(self-hosted), AWS (IAM, thin clients, EC2, D1, Lambda)
- Networking: pfSense, VLANs, WireGuard, DNS over TLS, Cloudflare Tunnels
- Edge Security: Cloudflare Zero Trust, API Gateway, DLP, DNS filtering, WAF
π€ AI & Local Inference
- Models: Mixtral, DeepSeek-Coder, LLaMA 2, CodeLlama, quantized variants
- Inference: Ollama, llama.cpp, GGUF, accelerated with 3090/4060 GPUs
- Agent Stack: Continue.dev, CLI agents, custom JS/TS and shell integration
- Use Cases: Internal copilot tools, outbound LLM voice flows, self-hosted assistants
π‘οΈ Security & Red Team Engineering
- SIEM / EDR: Wazuh, Security Onion, TheHive + Cortex stack
- Intel Feeds: CISA KEV, OTX, Abuse.ch, internal mirrors
- Offensive: Caldera, Hack The Box (active rotation), Crucible AI labs
- Detection: Suricata tuning, anomaly detection, access token abuse chaining
π§° Languages & Development
- Primary: Rust, JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP
- Also Used: Python (pragmatically), C++, Bash, Go
- Tooling: code-server,Github, GitLab (self-hosted), manual CI/CD flows, local deployment pipelines
π MSP-Facing Ops
- CRM Systems: Custom-built React/Rust or PHP-based Krayin fallbacks
- Dialer Stack: ViciDial (custom-hardened), predictive tuning, smart SIP flow
- SIP Providers: Telnyx, Twilio, SIP.US (per client use case)
- Remote Access: Apache Guacamole for full-stack desktop/terminal access
- Asset/Ticketing: GLPI, alert-routed via Wazuh and custom pipeline scripts
π Frontend, CMS, and Interfaces
- Frontend: React, Next.js, vanilla JS/TS, Framer Motion, Tailwind
- CMS: Ghost (primary), WordPress (legacy only), Laravel-based CRM content stacks
- Hosting: Cloudflare Pages, Proxmox-deployed stacks, hardened NGINX gateways
π» Operating Systems & Environments
- Primary: NixOS (daily driver), GrapheneOS (mobile), macOS (media/dev integration)
- Specialized: Qubes OS (segmentation, research, air-gapped ops)
- Other: Hardened Debian-based distros, Alpine-based containers, custom kernel configs
π Professional Principles
- I take a disciplined, client-facing approach to infrastructure β balancing performance, transparency, and long-term maintainability.
- I architect systems that scale predictably, whether on-premise, hybrid cloud, or edge deployments.
- I maintain strong AWS proficiency β especially IAM, thin clients, serverless, and monitoring stacks. I'm proficient in Azure, but I will charge a substantial premium for Azure services.
- I deploy and recommend SIP services like Telnyx, Twilio, and SIP.US for secure, resilient voice infrastructure.
- I choose tools for control, adaptability, and performance β not hype or trend.
