During the Summer of 2025 I interned at the Virginia Spaceport Authority (VSA) as an IT/IS Intern. I worked primarily with the system administrator (Brian Bishop) and network engineer (John Phillips). At the beginning of my internship the VSA began to reintroduce Linux into their tech environment, so I quickly jumped on the opportunity and put my skills to use.
The VSA was beginning to reintroduce Red Hat Enterprise Linux into their tech stack, being a fan of Linux I quickly jumped to the occasion.
I wrote a set of tools to expedite the set up process for RHEL, and some others to harden the system so we meet the higher security standards.

I was tasked with deploying a list of all VSA employees' contact information on everyone's phones within the company.
I was provided with a CSV file of all the employees contact information and a Red Hat Enterprise Linux VM from my mentor Brian. From here it was up to me.
I utilized three open source projects to accomplish this: PostgreSQL, Radicale, and NGINX. NGINX was a reverse proxy for routing and securing traffic, PostgreSQL held the contact information and logical groupings, and Radicale served the vCards.
I combined all of these by building a suite of Python tools for generating vCards, managing the database, and updating the Radicale server.
Using Jamf we deployed a contacts payload that reached out to the server, which would route the traffic as it came in, generate vCards off the database, then return the contacts list to everyone's devices.
I also created an interal web interface using Flask for easily accessing and modifying the database, individual contacts, logical groupings, and syncing operations.
Notably the service is completely free to run and everything is on-prem, a large boon for the organization as opposed to enterprise solutions.

Cacti is a network fault monitoring and data visualization tool.
Using a Rocky Linux VM in our cluster, I set up and installed Cacti so that we could monitor the devices on our network using SNMP.
Using this tool, we were able to track and monitor our core switches down to individual interfaces for anomaly detection and to monitor our UPS voltage and battery capacities.
This entire setup is also completely free to run and everything is stored on-prem.

Tools Used: MySQL, MariaDB, Php, RRDtool, Apache, Cacti, SNMP, Rocky Linux
CLI-GPT is a command line interface frontend for interacting with OpenAI's API.
I built this program so I could use OpenAI calls on my headless FreeBSD system. The project began as a way of asking OpenAI questions from a terminal but I began to add on more functionalities to make it a more useful system. It allows total customization of all of the models parameters, the ability to save and load profile configurations, and the ability to add files and images to uploads.
Tools Used: Python, OpenAI API, Rich Console,

Run off a Oracle Cloud VM running Rocky Linux 9. The project began for me to get practice and familiarity with webhosting and site administration. It's been quite an experience running DNS records, registering domain names, domain hopping during price increases, etc.
Tools Used: Rocky Linux, Oracle Cloud, NGINX
OpenValve is a data collection project built for a database class.
The goal was to create a system for generating game recommendations based on overlapping game tags from a user's library.
Using a combination of SteamWorks API calls and manual webscraping we collected tens of thousands of records within a relational database, using relation tables to connect Users, Games, and Tags.
We created a webapp frontend for manually scraping games and user accounts for tag data, and using this created an interface for selecting games and finding similar ones based on overlapping tag counts.
I've exported a semi-sanitized version of the project and posted it onto GitHub. It's lacking a couple of functionalities such as the phpMyAdmin database connection.
Tools Used: SQL, php, SteamWorks API, Python, BS4, Flask, SQLAlchemy
A habit tracking gamification project built during a 5-hour mini-hackathon.
The theme of the mini-hackathon was "Hack4Good".
A team of me and 3 others designed and developed a prototype for a gamified habit-tracking app, where fulfilling your healthy habits would benefit your ranch's rams.
We developed a prototype of the ranch system with several rams, where their needs are to be tied to your general upkeep. For example; you would set a water drinking goal, and as you complete it your ranch's daily water supply refills.
We used tkinter to develop the app prototype, and had in place API calls to other apps in order to auto-update your ranch's status.
Tools Used: Python, Tkinter, Various APIs
Working with a team of 7 to develop software related to the healthcare field.
We designed a logging application that takes daily inputs from a user based on their perceived effects of a prescriptions, logs them, then allows the user to visualize the data.
App was developed in TypeScript using Deno as a runtime environment and DenoFresh to do the frontend work. On the backend we had a SpringBoot REST API running for data storage and other functions.
Using GraphJS and an interactive calendar a user could select a range (or set) of dates and get a visualization of inputted information across the timeframe.
Tools Used: JavaScript, TypeScript, Deno, React, GraphJS, SpringBoot
