Technology Lab
This is the working side of the site: less résumé, more evidence. Each project is public, portfolio-safe, and designed to show how I think about systems, controls, reliability, and operations.
Automation / Platform Engineering
Reliable workflow platform with durable state, idempotency, retries, approvals, auditability, observability, hardened Docker, GitHub Actions, and AWS Terraform.
Demonstrates: TypeScript · PostgreSQL · APIs/Webhooks · Prometheus/Grafana · Docker · CI/CD · Terraform
Identity / Zero Trust
Tenant-neutral Entra ID architecture covering joiner/mover/leaver lifecycle, SSO, group-based access, RBAC, privileged access, Conditional Access, emergency access, workload identities, audit, and incident response.
Demonstrates: Entra ID · IAM · RBAC · PIM concepts · Conditional Access · Zero Trust · PowerShell assessment
AI Systems / Evaluation
Multi-provider reference system for controlled prompts, repeat sampling, normalized storage, evaluator separation, longitudinal comparison, provenance, schema validation, and token/cost accounting.
Demonstrates: provider abstraction · experiment design · auditability · structured outputs · governance · reproducibility
IoT / Edge
Resilient connected-device architecture for BLE, RFID/UHF, NFC, Wi-Fi, cellular, intermittent connectivity, local buffering, deduplication, store-and-forward synchronization, telemetry, and power resilience.
Demonstrates: offline-first design · edge processing · event normalization · backhaul resilience · field reliability
Windows / Operations Automation
Reusable PowerShell utilities for Windows administration, diagnostics, performance monitoring, health checks, structured reporting, and operational troubleshooting.
Demonstrates: PowerShell · diagnostics · monitoring · structured output · safe reusable automation
Defensive Security
Passive PowerShell security utility for assessing SPF, DMARC, DKIM, MX, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, and public DNS posture with structured findings, severity, evidence, and remediation guidance.
Demonstrates: defensive security · DNS analysis · email authentication · structured reporting · PowerShell
Why the Lab Exists
A résumé can show where someone has worked. It is much weaker at showing how they think today.
The Lab exists to make architecture judgment, technical depth, operational reasoning, documentation habits, and current hands-on development visible without exposing employer or customer systems.
Portfolio Boundary
The public repositories are reference implementations and generalized tools. They do not contain former-employer source code, customer data, credentials, private tenant information, proprietary device configurations, internal network details, or production secrets.
Live AI Experiment
The Glowing Oracle’s six-provider experiment is active. Dated reports preserve observed data, review status, limits, and operational implications, with a new report every 30 days.
