About Me

I’m a hands-on, full-spectrum IT professional with 25+ years of experience spanning SQL Server development, WordPress architecture, Linux systems, LAMP development, web hosting, and custom automation. I thrive in hybrid technical/managerial roles where I can combine strategic planning with deep system-level execution.

Technically, my heart lives in SQL. Whether it’s Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or MySQL — if there’s a query to write or a schema to optimize, I’m there. I’ve also built and maintained over 100 WordPress websites, many with custom plugins, eCommerce workflows, marketing automation, and SEO strategies — always with performance, cost-efficiency, and scalability in mind.

My recent focus includes:

• Self-hosted solutions and VPS environments
• PHP, WordPress, and MariaDB development
• Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok (most paid)
• Proxmox and LXC-based dev/test environments
• Home lab orchestration and network-level filtering with pfSense
• Automating cloud-free workflows using open-source tools like Huginn
• Python scripting for recursive sitemap crawling, syslog-to-SQL pipelines, and more

I’m passionate about simplifying complexity, cutting waste (financial and technical), and building solutions that just work.
