Self-taught, curiosity-driven, and well-rounded self-appointed sysadmin with experience in software development and IT seeking to apply his skills for a position in IT, Cybersecurity, or Application development.
Accomplishments
SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
• Developed Django web applications for the ODU Computer Science Department.
• Lobby Display: Hosted on a touchscreen display at two locations in ODU, this application displays a visual directory for ODU’s CS Department. Professors login via LDAP to the portal and customize their profiles.
• Consultant Scheduler: A system to keep track of coworkers' scheduled work hours. Requires consultants to enter their class hours, then choose their preferred work schedule. The system cross-checks the class schedule and ensures a minimum number of consultants are on schedule at once. Displayed with a Bootstrap5 frontend.
IT
• Implemented an ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana cluster) to monitor the uptime of 300+ clients in 4 different computer labs. Utilized Metricbeat and Heartbeat data shippers. • Practiced customer service using a ticketing system to troubleshoot issues. • Administer 1000+ client large-scale Windows and Unix Environment • Completed learning projects in Linux/Windows servers, highly-available hosting, networking, and Django web app development.
RESEARCH
• Is it safer at the beach? Spatial and temporal analyses... Coded a Python script to periodically scrape video and save frames from a live webcam stream of a beach. The pictures and video were then analyzed using GIS software and open-source tools to measure the level of social distancing. Paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocecoaman.2021.105533 Code: GitHub Repo
