Power, fire alarm, lighting and data systems in Revit and AutoCAD, designed to NFPA 70.

• Design power, fire alarm, lighting and data systems to NFPA 70 (National Electric Code).
• Write a Revit automation plugin in C# against the Revit API that builds and exports COMcheck energy-code compliance forms straight from the model, packaged as a single install across multiple Revit versions.
• Moved code signing to Azure Trusted Signing: builds sign against a certificate held in Microsoft's HSM and timestamp each artifact, replacing a self-signed certificate that every machine had to be told to trust.
• Train and onboard new hires, two-plus years running: Revit and AutoCAD training, drawing standards and the in-house tooling.
• Write the supporting desktop tools in C#/WinForms and PowerShell: drawing-set reconstruction, an MEP schedule scanner, and a launcher that versions and updates each tool.

PrintectAtlanta, Georgia

3D-printing storefront, built and operated solo.

• Wrote the full stack: catalog and cart, a quoting engine that slices an uploaded model and prices it, build-plate packing, a print queue driving the printers, label generation and payment capture.
• Live commercial rails: Stripe, PayPal and EasyPost postage, behind a self-hosted identity provider.
• Software-defined STL generation: parametric parts emitted from code, so a change in size or fit is a parameter rather than a redraw.

FS-Testbed dashboard (www.fs-testbed.com): The testbed's live dashboard, and the thing that makes the integrated sensing and communication case testable. It puts three streams from the KSU Field Station on one timeline: atmospheric readings above ground, buried soil sensors below it, and TV White Space signal measurements across the same ground. Read together, the link is doing two jobs at once: carrying data, and having its own propagation across the field become a measurement of that field. Built on Plotly Dash and served from my own hardware, not a hosting provider.

A Proxmox cluster running roughly two dozen self-written services: VLAN-segmented networking, WireGuard access, an nginx edge with automated certificates, and a private GitLab that deploys every service through CI/CD behind a manual production gate.

The public face of the estate, served from my own hardware rather than a host: the storefront, a 3D-print portal, a status service and this resume, all behind one nginx edge with automated certificates and a self-hosted sign-in shared across them.

Upload a model, get it sliced, quoted, packed onto a plate, printed, labelled and paid for. Live commercial rails end to end.

Go, Python, Stripe, PayPal, EasyPost

The control plane for the estate: a web UI and CLI that configure Proxmox, GitLab and MikroTik, a credential rotation engine covering roughly 86 live secrets, and a scoped tool server for agent access.
