Projects
Engineering systems, workflows, and implementation
A focused archive of infrastructure, remote engineering, reverse engineering, and workflow projects shaped by real technical constraints, system trade-offs, and implementation decisions.
Flagship Projects
Core case studies in architecture and technical delivery
These two projects carry the strongest signal for systems reasoning, implementation strategy, and engineering work under uncertain operational conditions.
Flagship Case Study
Low-Latency Remote Engineering Environment
Designed a low-latency remote CAD workflow by decoupling secure connectivity from interactive performance layers.
Context: Early remote PDM testing exposed a structural workflow issue: engineering files opened acceptably over LAN, but remote access introduced 15–20 seconds of delay before fetch even began, followed by normal SolidWorks load time. The result was that remote engineering work became frustrating enough that the team continued using Dropbox-based file sharing despite known revision-control problems.
Flagship Case Study
Virtualized Engineering Infrastructure for Scalable Workflows
Designed a flexible engineering infrastructure around Proxmox to support PDM, service isolation, multi-OS expansion, and controlled backups under tight budget and organizational constraints.
Context: The existing engineering environment relied on shared Dropbox folders, inconsistent file discipline, and no authoritative system for revision control. This worked tolerably with very small teams, but broke down as more engineers became involved: users lost track of valid revisions, older files were mistaken for current ones, and missing uploads introduced uncertainty into day-to-day engineering work.
Supporting Projects
Additional implementation work and applied technical studies
Supporting projects extend the same profile into data management, reverse engineering, network architecture, and self-hosted engineering infrastructure.
Reverse Engineering
Functional Reconstruction of Oil Filter Cover
Reconstructed a functional oil filter cover for an older military vehicle using a hybrid scan-to-CAD workflow, combining incomplete scan data with manual measurement and engineering judgment to produce a manufacturable design.
Engineering Systems
Engineering Data Management Transition Using SolidWorks PDM
Transitioned from uncontrolled file-based engineering workflows to a structured data management system using SolidWorks PDM, introducing centralized revision control, network licensing, and infrastructure-aligned storage and backup systems.
Infrastructure & Automation
Self-Hosted NAS Platform with Automated Media Processing
Designed and implemented a self-hosted NAS platform integrating media streaming, photo management, and automated data pipelines, replacing manual file handling with structured, metadata-driven workflows.
Systems Architecture
Zero Trust–Aligned Network Architecture for Engineering Workflows
Designed a segmented network architecture to support secure, low-latency remote engineering workflows, combining peer-to-peer connectivity with firewall-based access control to reduce attack surface without sacrificing usability.
