Hands-on Portfolio
Each project began with a practical problem: how to build a realistic infrastructure lab, automate repetitive security work, or turn a classroom concept into something I could test. This page documents the goal, implementation, current status, and skills demonstrated by that work.
Infrastructure & Administration
Ongoing LabA self-managed environment for practicing virtualization, systems administration, networking, storage, monitoring, and security in a setting where I can safely build and break things.
Coursework can explain how infrastructure should work, but operating a lab forces me to confront what happens when configurations conflict, storage fills up, networking fails, or a service behaves differently than expected. The lab gives me a controlled environment for building that operational experience.
The lab uses Proxmox as the virtualization platform, with Windows and Linux systems supporting administrative, networking, and security-focused workloads. Storage and compute resources are separated according to workload needs, and the environment continues to grow as new projects require additional services.
The project demonstrates more than the ability to install a hypervisor. It requires resource planning, VM lifecycle management, network troubleshooting, Windows and Linux administration, documentation, and careful recovery when an experiment does not work as intended.
Python & Security Fundamentals
Public RepositoryA collection of command-line tools that translate foundational networking and password-security concepts into working Python programs for Windows and Linux.
View RepositoryAccepts and validates a starting and ending IPv4 address, generates the address range, then performs concurrent, operating-system-aware ICMP checks.
ipaddressRetrieves network interfaces and MAC addresses using platform-specific system commands. Linux support also includes a controlled MAC-address change workflow.
Get-NetAdapter integrationip link integrationGenerates randomized passwords using user-selected character categories and evaluates existing passwords against common complexity requirements.
Demonstrates password hashing through a simple interactive interface backed by Passlib. The tool is intended for learning how one-way password representations are generated.
The repository remains a learning project. Current priorities are separating the password-generator implementation, improving error handling, and expanding host discovery beyond ICMP.

Methodology & Automation
Active ProjectA reusable Obsidian knowledge system for CTFs and authorized penetration tests, designed to make reconnaissance, enumeration, note-taking, and tool usage more consistent.
A Bash command creates a normalized engagement folder and copies the methodology template.
Quick checklists guide recon, scanning, enumeration, exploitation, and documentation.
Findings, credentials, dead ends, commands, and items to revisit stay with the target note.
New lessons become reusable tool pages, examples, and methodology improvements.
The methodology follows a practical security-testing lifecycle while staying short enough to use during a live exercise. Target details, quick notes, findings, credentials, dead ends, and revisit items remain visible instead of being buried in long prose.
The create-box Bash workflow accepts a platform
and box name, normalizes the folder name, creates scan
storage, and copies the reusable methodology note into the
correct location. That removes setup friction before each
exercise.
The public repository is being prepared. This page will link directly to it when the project is ready for release.
