CCNA-certified, bilingual (English/Spanish) IT support and networking technician based in Houston, Texas. I build home labs to practice what I do on the job: Cisco routing and switching in EVE-NG, virtualization on Proxmox and VMware, and PowerShell to automate the repetitive parts.
Home labs and IT tooling
- Proxmox-Homelab โ Proxmox VE home lab: filtered DNS over TLS, Tailscale, Prometheus/Grafana monitoring with ntfy alerts, NetBox, nightly backups, and OPNsense, Active Directory and Whonix labs. Configs and troubleshooting write-ups included.
- EVE-NG-Networking-Labs โ Cisco networking labs in EVE-NG: multi-site and three-tier campus designs, ASA NAT and ACLs, and a 23-node troubleshooting lab, each with its topology, configs and verification steps.
- VMware-Homelab โ VMware Workstation lab that rebuilds itself: nested ESXi 8 on a TrueNAS NFS datastore, unattended installs of Debian, Rocky, Kali, ESXi and Windows Server Core, an isolated lab network and a port-scan audit from Kali. Build files and troubleshooting write-ups included.
- PowerShell-Tools โ PowerShell tools for IT support and Windows administration: Active Directory onboarding and offboarding, subnet inventory, computer health reports, a duplicate file finder and file distribution through GitHub.
Apps
Tools I designed and tested for my own use. The code was written with Claude, and every commit says so.
- Everwall โ A different wallpaper on each screen, laid out to suit its shape. Tray app for Windows 11 and Ubuntu (GNOME).
- Notelint โ A linter for project notes: finds broken links, dead evidence, stale facts and unclaimed files in a markdown knowledge base.
