Prototype architect for future product releases of high availability, data integrity/security analysis tools with a strong focus on Linux and *BSD systems.Designed and developed several prototypes for high availability, data integrity/security analysis tools for a varierty of systems: *BSD, Linux, Windows with on project requiring cross-platform support for all three. Primarily prototyped with Python, but C++ modules were developed for improved performance.Helped interview, hire, and train new team members for further product development beyond the initial prototypes.Worked with and had root access to many Linux & *BSD servers on a daily basis.

Founded and ran a small family-owned cryptocurrency mining company. Primarily focused on mining with ASICs (Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc) and also mined with GPU rigs (Primarily ETH).Constructed a miniature data center, upgraded electrical and network capability. Developed a custom multithreaded system using Python, PyQT, C, and Arduinos for managing and monitoring temperature, humidity, and all the mining equipment. Individual miners and sensors feed data into a centralized Raspberry Pi on-site, which can then be remotely connected to for management.Also implemented functionality to automatically determine the most profitable coin for miners to be mining and automatically switch ASICs and other equipment to other set of pools to maximize profitability.

Part time teacher at an international school in Shanghai, China.Developed curricula and taught both Western Music History & Introductory Computer Programming with Python.

Worked in the operating systems group (OSG) security active defense team doing a combination of research on vulnerabilities and developing systems or tools (Mostly C++, some C#) to mitigate them. Developed a new tool called ProcessMitigations, written in C++ (Windows API), for managing security settings on Windows 10 Enterprise through Powershell. Allows individual mitigations to be toggled on a system-wide or application based level. Also allows user to export or import as a security policy to be used on other machines as well. Check out the tool on the Powershell Gallery.
