Projects

Problem Solving and Growing Experience

These projects show hands-on learning in website design, home networking, systems thinking, and support-oriented communication. Each one reflects practical work rather than theory alone. Some projects are useful, others are simply there to show what is possible, and many started through my college coursework.

Projects We've Worked On

Data Analytics

Data Analysis and Forensic Technology Job Simulation

Computer networking, data analysis, data modeling, data structures, data visualization tools, formal communication, log analysis, planning, programming, Python programming, software development, spreadsheet skills, and web security.

This project was completed as part of a business technology simulation focused on analyzing factory telemetry and compensation data for Daikibo Industrials. The goal was to use data tools to identify operational downtime patterns and support an internal investigation into pay equality across multiple factory locations.

For the telemetry portion, I worked with JSON data collected from four international factories. The data included machine status reports sent every ten minutes throughout May 2021. I imported the data into Tableau, created a calculated downtime measure, and built visual dashboards to determine which factory had the most machine downtime and which machine type contributed most to the issue.

For the equality portion, I worked with an Excel compensation table containing factory locations, job roles, and equality scores. I added a classification column that grouped each role into Fair, Unfair, or Highly Discriminative categories based on the equality score. This helped turn raw score data into clearer business insight.

This project strengthened my skills in data cleaning, calculated fields, dashboard filtering, Excel formulas, and turning technical results into useful business recommendations.

What I worked through

  • Imported and analyzed JSON telemetry data in Tableau to find factory machine downtime patterns.
  • Created calculated fields to turn "unhealthy" machine statuses into estimated downtime minutes.
  • Built dashboard filters so selecting one factory changed the machine breakdown chart automatically.
  • Used Excel formulas to classify equality scores into Fair, Unfair, and Highly Discriminative categories.

Networking

Home Network Segmentation and Wi-Fi Mesh Setup

Fiber network, switch topology, mesh placement, and device separation.

I planned a home setup that improved coverage while separating devices by purpose, making the network easier to manage and troubleshoot. This started as a growing project at a family member's property, where Wi-Fi needed to cover two neighboring houses while sharing one internet connection.

One thing I would change is running an Ethernet backhaul between the two houses. At the time, that would have required more work than they wanted to take on, so the connection between locations remained wireless.

The project also helped shape my plans for larger home networking setups involving managed switching, a home server, PoE security equipment, Wi-Fi access points, and wired Ethernet connections throughout the property.

What I worked through

  • Physical path from modem to router to switch to mesh
  • Network separation for personal, household, and guest use
  • Signal testing and connectivity checks across the space
  • Validation that devices stayed on the correct network

Systems

Home Media Server Deployment and Remote Access Workflow

Windows, storage organization, and remote administration.

This project focused on centralizing storage, keeping files organized, and making the server easier to manage day to day through remote tools.

I have used TeamViewer and Microsoft Remote Desktop for much of the remote management. Remote Desktop works very well on the local network, while accessing systems from outside the network introduced additional challenges. TeamViewer has also worked, although frequent use can introduce licensing limitations. That pushed me to continue exploring other remote-access options.

The system continues to grow alongside my networking projects and is used as a practical environment for storage, media, remote administration, and personal IT experimentation.

What I learned

  • Why storage planning matters before growth becomes a problem
  • How remote administration fits into practical maintenance
  • Where redundancy and backup planning should improve next

Research

Computer Build Planning and Hardware Recommendations

Compatibility checking, budgeting, and explaining tradeoffs clearly.

I enjoy comparing parts and creating realistic recommendations that balance price, upgrade potential, and performance for the person actually using the machine. Everyone has different needs and budgets when choosing a computer.

There are a lot of options available, and I have spent time learning the ins and outs of computer components and what they do. I find the technical side fascinating, but most people simply want answers to practical questions: Is it powerful enough to run the games or programs I need? Will it last a long time before it needs to be upgraded?

I want to help people make sure they are getting what they actually need without being overwhelmed by confusing specifications or unnecessary upgrades.

What it shows

  • Structured hardware research and comparison
  • Decision-making based on goals instead of hype alone
  • The ability to explain technical choices in plain language

What These Projects Say

The common thread is practical problem solving.

Even when the projects are different, the approach stays the same: understand the goal, organize the work, keep things usable, and explain the result clearly.
