Set up Microsoft Intune from scratch: deployed applications, enforced BitLocker encryption policies, and configured Windows Autopilot for zero-touch device enrolment.
Built a full Active Directory lab environment from scratch - installed Windows Server, configured a domain controller, created OUs, users, and group policies for testing.
Configured automatic Windows login by editing the Winlogon registry key - setting AutoAdminLogon, DefaultUserName, and DefaultPassword - enabling seamless sign-in for home or work environments.
Used PDQ Deploy to remotely push software packages to domain-joined computers, selecting AD targets and monitoring deployment status - streamlining software distribution across the lab environment.
Configured Remote Desktop on a domain-joined Windows 10 machine, granted helpdesk users RDP access, and successfully connected remotely from the domain controller - enabling hands-on remote administration in the lab.
Demonstrated a UAC prompt bypass technique using msconfig.exe launched via the Run dialog - triggering a UAC elevation prompt through a trusted Windows utility to test Admin Approval Mode behavior via Local Group Policy.
Created a dedicated low-privilege service account (djoinacc) in Active Directory with scoped permissions to create/delete computer objects and join workstations to the domain - enforced via Default Domain Controllers Policy and ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota set to 0.

Book a MeetingHands-on hardware builds - from a ZimaBoard NAS, Raspberry Pi Kubernetes cluster, Docker Swarm, Arduino electronics, a 3D printed Mini-ITX NAS case, GitLab CI/CD pipeline, to a Raspberry Pi Datacenter.
Built a custom NAS using a ZimaBoard single-board server mounted on a multi-drive HDD cage - configuring storage, networking, and self-hosted services for local file management and backups.
Built an Arduino Uno R3 project with a breadboard, LCD display, and custom wiring - programmed a number guessing game that tracks attempts and elapsed time, displayed live on the LCD screen.
Built a 4-node Kubernetes cluster using Raspberry Pi 4 boards with custom copper pipe heat sinks and a 3D-printed rack. Configured k3s, networked nodes via a managed switch, and managed workloads through the Kubernetes Dashboard.
Deployed a 3-node Docker Swarm cluster running 4 services including Ghost, Traefik, and node-exporter - monitored via Swarm UI with real-time cluster health, CPU, memory, and disk metrics across all nodes.
Designed and 3D printed my own Mini-ITX NAS case from scratch, complete with a physical lock, mesh ventilation panels, and a custom front badge. Once printed and assembled, I installed my NAS server inside - giving it a compact, secure, and fully custom home.
