02.Selected Work

Most of my work is proprietary, so these are written as case studies — the problem, the architecture, and the result.

CRM Platform — 600,000+ Client Records

MIE Institute · 2017–2023

A services organization needed to manage hundreds of thousands of client records across multiple websites and teams. I designed and built a custom CRM from the ground up and operated it in production for six years — requirements, database design, development, reporting, and continuous enhancement. The same infrastructure served 5+ public websites, which I administered on Linux with full responsibility for security, performance, uptime, and backups.

Warehouse & Inventory Management System

Hickey's Timber Mart · 2026

A multi-store building-supplies retailer was tracking inventory on paper and spreadsheets. I gathered requirements directly from warehouse and floor staff, then designed and built a custom application covering receiving, stock levels, and transfers between locations — delivered through the full lifecycle: design, development, testing, data conversion, training, and documentation. I also built a prototype AI-assisted search tool that lets staff find products with natural-language queries, synonyms, and descriptions instead of exact SKU names.

Multi-Site Retail Network

Hickey's Timber Mart · 2026

As sole IT administrator, I designed and deployed the network that connects all store locations: MikroTik RouterOS at every edge, WireGuard tunnels in a hub-and-spoke topology, VLAN segmentation isolating POS, VoIP, cameras, and guest Wi-Fi, and QoS keeping call quality clean. Management access is VPN-only with default-deny firewalling at every site, and monitoring alerts me before users notice a problem.
