Stepped away from active management to serve as an Advisor, continuing to contribute to business strategy while dedicating my efforts to my full-time engineering career.

- Built automation tooling, internal dashboards, and backend workflows using Python, Node.js, SQL, and Git-based CI/CD. - Deployed and maintained 60+ hypervisors and edge systems, supporting global game and cloud hosting operations. - Implemented monitoring stacks using Prometheus + Grafana, including exporters, alerting, and real-time performance dashboards. - Managed Linux systems, networking, and operational tooling for thousands of customer-facing workloads.

Co-founded by four friends, Novonode is an online hosting provider catering to those seeking high-quality game, web, and cloud hosting. I led engineering, DevOps, and operational strategy, ensuring service reliability, automation maturity, and long-term maintainability across the platform.

Providing private 1:1 grinds/tutoring sessions to IT students both remote and in person. Help with assignments, deadlines, projects, as well as regular sessions covering course work. Covering areas such as Git, Python, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Setup & Environment, task management etc.

I participated in a scholarship program offered by Trellix, which includes a 9-month work placement with the company. Through this opportunity, I have the chance to gain practical experience and apply my skills and knowledge in a professional setting.
