Infrastructure that holds up.
Tools people can trust.

01 / INFRASTRUCTURE & OPERATIONS

Systems I build,
run, and support.

Day-to-day IT is identity, networks, backups, and the people who depend on them. This is the work underneath everything else on this page.

Production Proxmox environment

20+ VMs and LXC containers hosting DNS, reverse proxy, Git, a password vault, monitoring, file sync, and remote access, with nightly automated backups and Tailscale for remote administration.

  • Proxmox VE
  • KVM / LXC
  • Docker

IDENTITY & CLOUD

Hybrid Azure AD migration

As Director of IT for a community nonprofit, I led the move from legacy on-premises systems to hybrid Azure AD with centralized identity, Microsoft 365, and device management.

  • Entra ID
  • Active Directory
  • Microsoft 365
  • Exchange
TROUBLESHOOTING

Multi-layer outage, root-caused

Traced a combined wireless, DNS, and authentication failure to a USB 3 radio interference issue and fragile boot assumptions, fixed both, then proved the fix with full reboots of host and gateway.

  • Wi-Fi
  • DNS
  • systemd
  • Root cause analysis

02 / SELECTED SOFTWARE

Ideas made tangible.

Six projects from the Hyperion ecosystem,
with scope and maturity stated plainly.

Screens are design exports and captures from internal builds. Each case study states its current scope.

  • Operations dashboards
  • Desktop & web interfaces

05 / ABOUT

One point of contact.
A systems perspective.

I’ve worked every layer of IT: the repair bench, the help desk, deployments, and running a whole organization’s infrastructure.

Hyperion Industries is where I build that experience into software: agent workspaces, knowledge tools, operational interfaces, and local-first systems. I use AI-assisted development with deliberate architecture, scoped access, and verification. I direct the agents, review what they produce, and stay accountable for the result.

I hold my own work to a “truthful over pretty” standard: real state or an honest “unknown,” never invented metrics.
