Résumé

Full-stack web developer and platform engineer. I build production websites and applications for businesses — and run the secure infrastructure behind them.

Professional Summary

Engineer and founder of Valkyrie Nexus. I design and build production websites and full-stack web applications for businesses — from fast marketing sites to full e-commerce and operations platforms — and I run the secure, self-hosted infrastructure behind them. My work spans front-end and full-stack web (SolidStart and TypeScript on Cloudflare) through identity-aware access, container orchestration, and security observability. Background in large-scale project delivery (BS Business Administration, MS Project Management), multi-million-dollar construction projects, and 24+ years of military service — the same operational discipline applies whether it’s a bridge, a platform, or a client’s website.

Selected Work

Client Websites & E-commerce

Designer & Developer

Design, build, and maintain production websites for real businesses — from fast single-page lead sites (Arnold's Appliance Repair) to full storefronts with reservations, carts, invoicing, and owner-run admin tooling (Air Assault Fireworks, Matt's Delicious Meat). Built on SolidStart and Cloudflare Workers with D1 and R2.

StoneFyr E-commerce Platform

Designer, Developer & Operator

Built and operate StoneFyr, an e-commerce venture: customer storefront, admin dashboard, inventory management, and multi-channel order sync. End-to-end ownership from UI to operations.

Two-Domain Web Platform

Designer & Developer

Designed and built this two-domain platform (.com / .dev) on SolidStart with SSR, TypeScript, and a Turborepo monorepo. Deployed on Cloudflare Workers with automated CI/CD from GitHub, Three.js visuals, structured data, and a Gmail-API contact pipeline.

Secure Access Platform

Architect & Operator

Designed and deployed a zero-trust access architecture using Cloudflare Tunnels, Traefik, and Authentik on Proxmox. Zero inbound ports, MFA-enforced SSO, policy-based routing across all services.

K3s / Kubernetes Operations

Architect & Operator

Deployed and operate a lightweight Kubernetes cluster with automated certificate management, identity-aware ingress, and GitOps-ready deployment workflows.

Security & Observability Baseline

Architect & Operator

Built a Wazuh-based SIEM providing host/container monitoring, file integrity monitoring, centralized log aggregation, and security event correlation.

Approach

Build for the user first: fast, accessible, and conversion-focused on the front end.
Security-first defaults: assume-breach architecture, least-privilege access, layered controls.
Infrastructure as code: reproducible, version-controlled, testable deployments.
Documentation as infrastructure: runbooks, ADRs, and diagrams maintained alongside code.
Operational clarity: every system designed to be operated by someone other than its builder.
