Build for purpose — systems that improve how operations run.

I replace subscription tools with in-house Rails systems that cut cost and give ops, HR, and management clear visibility.

Purpose first. Outcomes over features. Systems that connect.

Timekeeping Kiosk & Asset Management

Purpose
Give ops, HR, and management one place to see who is working, what they use, and where assets live.
Problem
Attendance and assets lived in separate, mostly manual workflows — hard to reconcile people, workstations, and equipment.
Solution
In-house kiosk timekeeping integrated with asset tracking, including a visual seat plan that maps people and workstations to their assets.
Outcome
Saved $43,200/year vs a subscription timekeeping product; faster onboarding accountability; clearer ownership for IT and HR.

Event Organizer

Purpose
Help ops and management run large recurring events and understand engagement — not just headcount.
Problem
Paper sign-offs and manual meal/raffle flows burned staff time and left no useful view of participation patterns.
Solution
Rails/React event system with seating, meal/raffle flows, calendar heatmaps, engagement insights, and v1 per-user profiling.
Outcome
Supports 300+ people across multi-day weekly events; saved up to 10 hours weekly vs signature sheets; leaders see who engages and when.

Server Room Monitoring

Purpose
Give management and IT planning visibility into environmental risk — not only a live temperature number.
Problem
Point-in-time sensor checks missed patterns that drive overheating risk and capacity planning.
Solution
Real-time temperature/humidity monitoring plus time-based and seasonal heatmaps for hour/day trends.
Outcome
Earlier detection of risky conditions and clearer capacity planning; avoided commercial monitoring spend while improving preventive maintenance.

Access Control System

Purpose
Secure facility entry while feeding unified attendance data.
Problem
Commercial access control was costly and disconnected from timekeeping.
Solution
Hardware/software access system integrated with the timekeeping stack.
Outcome
Saved $4,406.77 vs commercial alternatives; unified entry and attendance records.

Uptime Monitoring

Purpose
Alert ops when devices and production services fail.
Problem
Downtime was discovered late, slowing incident response.
Solution
Proactive availability alerting for on-prem devices and production apps.
Outcome
Faster detection and shorter resolution paths for service incidents.

Network Management & Security

Purpose
Keep a 300+ user network performant and segmented.
Problem
Growth exposed bottlenecks and weak segmentation without HA planning.
Solution
pfSense with HA load balancing, VLANs, QoS, and regular audits; bare-metal AD support.
Outcome
Stable connectivity for 300+ users with clearer security boundaries.

Technical Training & Knowledge Sharing

Purpose
Raise baseline IT independence across departments.
Problem
Level 1 issues concentrated on a small support group.
Solution
Training on pfSense, Active Directory, and IT practices; invited talks at alma mater.
Outcome
Fewer Level 1 tickets; broader cross-team technical confidence.
