Full-Stack Engineer & Founder | U.S. Veteran | Platforms · Web Applications · Secure Infrastructure
I design, build, and ship complete products — then run the hardened infrastructure they live on.
I build software end to end. The interface, the application and API layers, the data model, the CI/CD pipeline, and the zero-trust infrastructure underneath — I own the whole stack, from first commit to hardened production.
I'm a U.S. Veteran who transitioned into tech with a mission-first mindset: build things that are reliable, defensible, and intentional. Every architectural decision is deliberate — I want to understand what each component does, how the pieces connect, and how to make the result elastic, scalable, and secure at its core.
My engineering brand: full-stack web platforms, container orchestration, identity-aware access, and security observability — built and operated from bare metal to production. Public presence across two domains, one for portfolio and consulting, one for engineering notes and architecture documentation.

A small business I founded around custom design and 3D-printing engineering. StoneFyr pairs a public storefront with a purpose-built inventory and order management system — designed, built, and deployed in house on a modern edge stack (SolidStart on Cloudflare Workers, D1, and R2).
A web-based command center for Torn City factions and my most substantial application to date — real-time war tracking, organized-crime lifecycle management, member analytics, and financial accounting.
- Customizable dashboard — drag-and-drop grid of 18 widgets with persistent per-user layouts and tiered auto-refresh.
- War management — live attack feeds, chain reporting, post-war payout distribution, and configurable rank tiers.
- Organized crimes — full lifecycle (recruiting → planning → completed → historical) with checkpoint tracking, reward estimation, and payout calculation.
- Architecture in motion — v1 runs in production; v2 is a deliberate consolidation from 28 Rust/gRPC microservices to a single Rust (Axum) monolith with a SolidStart frontend and Cloudflare Durable Objects for sub-30 ms real-time state, migrated via a strangler-fig cutover with zero downtime.

Production websites and platforms I design, build, and maintain — not brochure pages, but full applications with real back-office features.

QRcodeGen — a free Autodesk Fusion add-on that generates QR codes as extruded 3D bodies for multi-color 3D printing. Supports text, URL, vCard, WiFi, and batch-sequence modes, on-face placement, and per-module color separation. Pure-Python, zero external dependencies.
I run a self-hosted platform that mirrors enterprise architecture patterns — a working environment where I build, break, and harden real systems.
| Layer | Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Virtualization | Proxmox VE | Hypervisor for isolated workloads |
| External Access | Cloudflare Tunnels | Zero-trust ingress, no exposed ports |
| Routing | Traefik | Dynamic reverse proxy with auto-TLS |
| Identity & Auth | Authentik | SSO, MFA, and policy-based access control |
| Orchestration | K3s | Lightweight Kubernetes for service deployment |
| Security & Observability | Wazuh | SIEM, intrusion detection, log analysis |
| Containerization | Docker | Multi-stage builds, non-root, read-only filesystems |
| Web Serving | Nginx | Rate limiting, security headers, CSP |
| CI/CD | GitHub Actions | Automated lint, test, build, scan, deploy |
This isn't a tech list — it's a trust chain. Traffic enters through Cloudflare, gets routed by Traefik, authenticated by Authentik, served from hardened containers, and monitored by Wazuh. Every layer has a job.
