Personal Projects

Here is a list of some of the projects that I have enjoyed working on:

🔧 Engineering Projects

Github
deadlyops.com: Deployed serverless using Cloudflare Workers & Pages. Development locally using Docker, deploying to Kube-Prometheus-Stack for added practice. Added html, JS, style linting, along with pre-commit hooks and Github actions!
phoenixmartialartshv.com: Website for promoting the Hudson Valley NY chapter of Phoenix Martial Arts. Working to upgrade from static content to proper backend for Contact forms.
Infrastructure as Code Sandbox: Experiments with Terraform and Pulumi for modular infrastructure setups in AWS using localstack environment.
Configuration Management: Configured Chef for Raspi Management on local home network.
MLOPs / RAG Practice / Python GUI: Testing RAG processes using local Llama3 model and embedding that within a Python driven GUI, Llama-Ollama (Terminator AI).
Lambda Function Runtime Check: Simple Python script leveraging boto3 to assemble a list of lambdas running an outdated runtime version and email a team based on a tag.

🛠 Fabrication & Mechanical Projects

Hands-on fabrication and mechanical projects, anything involving tools, materials, and creative problem solving outside the digital world.

Aluminum Training Weapons

While starting in Martial Arts in FMA I always saw guys with awesome training weapons made from metal and wanted them! Trouble is they aren't cheap and at the time I already spent most of my money on training and seminar costs. In the scrap pile I was able to obtain a 2' x 6' x 1/4" sheet of aluminum and I worked at Lowe's so I got an employee discount on jigsaw blades.
