Principal Infrastructure, Platform & Security Engineer
I design, secure, automate, test, and operate infrastructure platforms across Linux, networking, containers, observability, reliability, quality engineering, and governance.
My public work focuses on converting operationally complex systems into deployable, observable, supportable, and security-conscious platforms. Current projects apply production engineering practices to self-hosted distributed services, including automated deployment, administrative interfaces, readiness validation, monitoring, incident prevention, release governance, and secure software-delivery controls.
| Discipline | Focus |
|---|---|
| Platform & Linux Engineering | Linux administration, service management, Docker, deployment automation, lifecycle operations, backup and recovery |
| Network Engineering | Service exposure, firewall and port design, segmentation, troubleshooting, availability, and defensive architecture |
| SRE & Observability | Prometheus, Grafana, health and readiness models, operational telemetry, alerting, incident analysis, and reliability automation |
| Security & DevSecOps | Least privilege, trust boundaries, vulnerability management, secret scanning, SAST, filesystem scanning, and secure delivery gates |
| SDET & Quality Engineering | Test strategy, regression automation, CI validation, release evidence, failure-path testing, and compatibility hardening |
| GRC | Control mapping, auditable evidence, risk documentation, change governance, rollback planning, and operational ownership |
Docker-based self-hosting platform with a browser administration console, guided installation, health and readiness visibility, service controls, backups, updates, player operations, map management, autoscaling, and database tooling.
Engineering themes: Linux, Docker, systems integration, service operations, networking, automation, security, and operational usability.
Production-oriented, read-only observability addon providing operational health, activity, resource, economy, inventory, SOC, and Prometheus-backed visibility under an explicit least-privilege permission model.
Engineering themes: Prometheus, NOC/SOC telemetry, secure architecture, permission boundaries, CI gates, SAST, secret scanning, and release governance.
SRE automation for upstream release monitoring, pull-request tracking, CI validation, safe fork synchronization, failed-service detection, and Discord-based operational notifications.
The project includes regression coverage for destructive synchronization failure modes and documents the incident history that drove the safeguards.
Engineering themes: Bash, GitHub automation, failure containment, regression testing, service monitoring, incident prevention, and SOC 2-oriented control tracking.
Governed community addon catalog with reviewed manifests, release-package references, submission requirements, and explicit lifecycle states for active, deprecated, unsupported, removed, or blocked integrations.
Engineering themes: ecosystem governance, supply-chain controls, package lifecycle management, review standards, and platform extensibility.

- Design for secure defaults and explicit trust boundaries.
- Apply least privilege to users, services, integrations, and data paths.
- Prefer reproducible deployment, validation, recovery, and rollback.
- Treat observability as an operational requirement, not an afterthought.
- Automate repetitive controls while preserving human review at destructive boundaries.
- Test failure paths and incident conditions, not only successful workflows.
- Keep documentation, implementation, release evidence, and operational state aligned.
- Build controls that are appropriate and achievable for the team operating them.
- Secure self-hosted platform architecture
- Containerized service orchestration
- Linux host hardening and operational automation
- Prometheus and Grafana integration
- AAA-style availability, performance, and operational metrics
- SOC and NOC visibility
- CI/CD security and quality gates
- Compatibility and upstream-release monitoring
- Auditable security and compliance evidence
