Built to stay up
Failover and backups go into every build. The result: 100% uptime on the systems I watch, and I rarely get a callback.

How I work
Built to hold.
Fast when it matters
Hand me a problem I've never seen and I'll chase it down — most things get solved the same day, not next week.
Hands-on to the core
Self-taught and still learning. I build PCs, servers, and homelabs from bare parts and know every layer I touch.
Not locked to one brand
Cisco, Meraki, Juniper, EnGenius, Omada, Ubiquiti, Alta Labs — I pick the right gear for the job, not the one I'm selling.
Flagship project
Nozara OS
A Debian Linux operating system I built from the ground up for studios, churches, live crews, and IT teams.
I kept running into the same gap: the people who manage networks and run live AV were stuck juggling fragmented, mismatched tools. So I built one platform that does both. Out of the box, Nozara OS runs Linux packages and Windows apps and VST plugins natively, with universal package support for .deb, .rpm, and AppImage.
- Nozara StudioA built-in DAW for recording and live mixing.
- 19 custom pluginsIn-house VST3/CLAP plugins, ready out of the box.
- Nozara LinkLive browser-based mix streaming.
- NDI video routingMove video across the network, no extra hardware.
- DMX lighting controlRun the lights from the same machine.
- Network engineering toolsBuilt in for the people who run the room.
Capabilities
What I do.
If it connects, routes, or needs to stay online, I handle it — from the switch port to the stream.
Network design & deployment
Full LAN/WAN builds — switching, routing, VLANs, and multi-building fiber. I plan it, rack it, label it, and configure it from the console so it runs clean on day one.
Wi-Fi that actually reaches
Surveyed, mapped coverage with no dead zones. Fast roaming, separate guest and staff networks, and access points sized for the space, not guessed at.
Security & hardening
Firewall policy, segmented traffic, VPN access, and authorized testing — I probe your network the way an attacker would and close the gaps before they're found.
Deep troubleshooting
When something's slow or dropping, I read the actual packets in Wireshark and trace the problem to the exact source instead of swapping parts and hoping.
Servers, storage & homelabs
Custom server and PC builds, Linux administration, network storage, and homelabs running hosting, VPN tunnels, and DNS filtering — redundancy baked in.
Cameras & smart buildings
IP surveillance on its own isolated network with 24/7 recording, plus access control and automation that brings older buildings up to date.
Websites & hosting
Fast, custom-built sites hosted on servers I own and run — from the code to the domain. This site is one of them.
Monitoring & remote support
Round-the-clock monitoring, automatic updates, and remote support. Most issues get caught and fixed before you ever notice them.
Live broadcast & AV-over-IP
Audio, video, and lighting carried over the network for live services and events — tuned for Dante and AES50 so the stream never drops a beat.
Device & MDM management
Large fleets of Chromebooks, MacBooks, and iPads deployed and managed through Google Admin Console and Scalefusion MDM — enrolled, secured, and kept current.
High availability & clustering
3-node high-availability server clusters and multi-site VPN infrastructure, so services stay online through failures and stay reachable from anywhere.
Custom software & tooling
I build the tools the job needs — from Nozara OS to a network control app that runs an entire live-production floor from one screen.
