Areas of Work

Different systems.
One troubleshooting mindset.

My work crosses software, wire paths, circuit boards, HVAC equipment, infrastructure, and business operations. The medium changes; the method does not: understand the system, gather evidence, isolate the fault, build the practical fix, and document it.

01 · APPLICATIONS

Web systems built around the operator.

Laravel applications turn field knowledge and daily operations into guided, mobile-ready workflows—not generic dashboards looking for a use.

  • Responsive Laravel and PHP interfaces
  • MariaDB and SQLite data models
  • Autosave, validation, search, reporting, and administration
  • Regression-tested production deployments

02 · TELECOMMUNICATIONS

Follow the path from customer symptom to physical cause.

Greater New Orleans field work means diagnosing service across MDU environments, copper and fiber paths, terminals, conduit, access constraints, and the records needed to leave the next technician a clearer system.

  • Fiber and copper service troubleshooting
  • MDU pathways, terminals, and facility coordination
  • Utility locating and damaged-conduit isolation
  • Evidence-based field documentation
03 · ELECTRONICS

Diagnose the circuit before replacing the part.

Board work starts with a headband-magnifier inspection, moves under a high-powered microscope when needed, and combines schematic reasoning with controlled measurement and rework.

  • Multimeter, ESR, LCR, diode, and continuity testing
  • Current-limited bench power and fault isolation
  • Through-hole and SMD soldering / hot-air rework
  • PCB design, signal tracing, and post-repair verification

04 · HVAC

Make field measurements part of a repeatable diagnostic record.

EPA 608-informed service work connects airflow, temperatures, pressures, electrical readings, cleaning, equipment context, and photo evidence before a conclusion is recorded.

  • Electrical and refrigeration diagnostics
  • Superheat, subcooling, delta-T, and current checks
  • Equipment profiles and service-history baselines
  • Guided maintenance documentation

05 · INFRASTRUCTURE

Self-hosted systems that can be maintained and recovered.

Raspberry Pi deployments use isolated Docker Compose stacks, deliberate network exposure, persistent data, health checks, and written deployment and rollback paths.

  • ARM64 Docker application stacks
  • Nginx, PHP-FPM, workers, schedulers, and databases
  • Cloudflare Tunnel for selected public services
  • Private LAN services for sensitive operational data

06 · OPERATIONS

Business systems connected to real work.

As a co-owner of veteran-owned HandyHounds, I connect residential repair and remodeling workflows with the software, documentation, customer communication, and operating discipline behind the field work.

  • Project and customer workflow design
  • Residential repair and remodeling operations
  • Field tools, materials, scheduling, and handoff
  • Custom business application development

The common thread

I build from the work outward.

The best tool is the one that matches the person, environment, constraints, and evidence already present in the job.
