Project Portfolio

Large-scale commercial facility requiring blanket wireless coverage across a complex multi-zone floor plan — including a mezzanine level — with network-dependent devices throughout: irrigation controllers, access control systems, workstations, and VoIP phones.

Camera system deployed with AI analysis and facial recognition across all zones. Exterior PTZ coverage on perimeter. Fiber interconnects run between MDF and three IDFs to distribute PoE switching capacity across the facility without signal degradation.

Redundant power and smart PDUs provide per-outlet control and power monitoring across the rack stack. NAS provides local storage independent of cloud services.

Architected the full network topology from DMARC to endpoint. Developed complete equipment list and sourced all UniFi hardware. Produced facility floor plan in UniFi Design Center with device placement, coverage modeling, and port mapping.

Scoped and managed structured cabling subcontractor — 135 Cat6 drops, fiber termination and LIU installation across two floors. Supervised installation to ensure compliance with the design spec.

Performed all rack work, switch configuration, VLAN segmentation, AP provisioning, camera configuration, NVR setup, and NAS deployment personally. Final system delivered documented and operational.

The home was running on a basic ISP-provided modem/router combo — dead zones across all three floors, no network segmentation, and zero smart home infrastructure. Starting point was a clean slate.

Over 1,000 feet of Cat6 pulled through three floors — wiring the home office, all TV locations, and strategic drops throughout. Every device that could be wired, was. Wireless left only for devices that require it.

Smart home VLAN configured with split 2.4/5 GHz SSIDs to ensure compatibility across 100+ IoT devices — many of which are 2.4 GHz only. A dedicated kids network with NextDNS filtering and DoH/DoT blocking keeps DNS queries from bypassing content controls at the protocol level.

Custom home server hosts Plex, Homebridge (bridging non-HomeKit devices into Apple Home), and supporting services — all running locally, off cloud subscriptions.

Designed full network topology and VLAN architecture. Pulled and terminated all Cat6 runs — home office, media locations, and utility drops across all three floors. No subcontractors; all cabling performed directly.

Rack built and configured from scratch: Dream Machine, aggregation switch, 48-port PoE, NAS, UPS, and Smart PDU. All switching, firewall rules, VLAN segmentation, and wireless configuration performed and documented.

Sourced, installed, and integrated all smart home devices. Homebridge configured to expose non-native HomeKit devices into a single unified Apple Home environment. Sonos zones aligned with room layout. Moen Flo and sump monitor providing real-time water monitoring with alerting configured.

System handed off with documentation and a walkthrough — the family can manage day-to-day without needing to understand the infrastructure beneath it.
