Professional Experience
15 years of hands-on IT before software development. The 140+ diagnostic rules in the Diagnostic Platform
didn't come from documentation — they came from this.
CTO / Lead Engineer (Contract)
X-CEED Tech Solutions LLC
Engaged as CTO and sole engineer. Architected and deployed a full production hosting platform — Discord bot,
web dashboard, payment integrations, Pterodactyl game-server panel, Docker Mailserver, Nginx Proxy Manager,
WordPress, Roundcube, and a custom IMAP-authenticated dynamic IP whitelisting system — entirely from scratch.
72 hours from first commit to 13 containers live in production.
Security hardening: iptables-legacy INPUT/DOCKER-USER chains, admin-only port lockdown, rate limiting,
HTTPS via Let's Encrypt DNS-01. All systems verified healthy and functional at archive.
Broad technical scope: computer diagnostics, phone & tablet repairs, custom desktop builds,
custom application development, and bespoke data solutions for clients.
The real-world diagnostic patterns from this role directly informed the Diagnostic Platform's 140+ rule engine.
