Well-rounded sysadmin with diverse experience seeking to apply his skills for a position in IT, Cybersecurity, or Application development.

Time at Systems Group

Est. 10/2021 - Present

Projects & Accomplishments

Software Engineering

  • Developed Django web applications for the ODU Computer Science Department.

1. 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.

2. Consultant Scheduler: A system to keep track of coworkers' scheduled work hours. Consultants enter their class hours and choose their preferred work schedule. The system cross-checks the class schedule and ensures a minimum number of consultants are on schedule at once. Bootstrap5 frontend.


IT

  • Implemented an ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana cluster) to monitor the uptime of 300+ clients in 4 different computer labs and utilized Metricbeat and Heartbeat data shippers.
  • Practiced customer service using a ticketing system to troubleshoot issues.
  • Administer and troubleshot 1000+ client 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.
