Hire the Best Windows Administrators in Wisconsin

I am an IT Generalist with over 25 years of experience designing & maintaining IT infrastructure. I believe strongly that optimization of infrastructure performance & reliability is key to providing positive user experiences.

Professional Information Technologist with 25 years’ experience. I love doing network design and maintenance, as well as troubleshooting, technical support including networks, servers, and workstations. Network documentation and standard operating procedures. Anything related to information technology projects. Windows-based networks and peripherals, active directory, DNS, exchange, Microsoft 365. based in Racine, Wisconsin United States with fully remote capabilities.

Seasoned IT professional with 18 years experience in Network Administration, Active Directory, Windows, Linux, MacOS, Firewalls, & VPN configuration. 8+ years experience developing solutions and automation systems using VBScript, Powershell, group policy, bash, and nodejs for the management and automation of infrastructure systems.

I am a recent college graduate, duel-majoring in IT System Administration and IT Technical Support. I have harbored a lifetime of interest and experience with technology of all kinds, ranging from PC repair, to light coding experience, to even video game development.

I can do what others can only dream of - hardware, software, programming, wired, wireless. If I don’t know it, I’ll learn it faster than the next guy can finish it. Talk to me and I'll show you I'm for real. Troubleshooting and learning are my best assets. TCP/IP | 802.11 | DNS | SMB | DHCP | NAT | NFS | IPS/IDS | DevSecOps | FreeBSD | Linux | Windows Server | macOS (desktop) | -40 to 100°F All-Weather Die Hard # Bio I’m looking for work that challenges me, engages me, and pushes me further—the kind of work that doesn’t feel like just a job. I want to build for people who see potential as a resource, not a risk—who let me become what I’m capable of, and let that benefit the world. --- ## Specialties Computer repair/troubleshooting, Networking, Systems Administration, Tech Support/Help Desk, Linux/FreeBSD, Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/2008, Amateur Electronics, Amateur Alternative Energy R&D (Biofuels, solar) --- ## Wireless Network Engineering If your network tech doesn’t know what a Fresnel zone is, fire him and hire me. I specialize in the design, implementation, and optimization of wireless communication systems—from physical layer to logical topology, minimizing latency and optimizing throughput through proper spectral allocation. That includes: RF propagation | Network security IDS/IPS | Interference mitigation | PHY-level debugging | Wireless standards: 802.11, Bluetooth, LTE, 5G Specialize in Ubiquiti, but also mikrotik, OpenWRT, roll-your-own. I’ve built networks that work in the field—not just on paper. --- ## Systems & Network Administration Proficient in managing and maintaining both hardware and software systems, including installation, configuration, and troubleshooting of servers, networks, and databases. Experienced with various operating systems in automation, system monitoring, backup solutions, and ensuring the security and reliability of systems and networks. --- ## Coding I write `python`, `powershell`, `bash`, `html`, `css`, `markdown` (have you *noticed yet* this is a **fully compatible** markdown document?). I'm honestly beginner–intermediate as far as coding goes, but I can get pretty far with AI assistance, as noted in the Keras/RNN SIGINT section. --- ## Electronics & Equipment Design Expertise in designing and testing electrical components and systems. Skilled in signal processing, analog and digital electronics, and the application of electrical engineering principles in the development of advanced communication technologies. Expert in the design/prototyping/testing of specialized electrical and communication equipment. This includes RF components, antennas, signal processing hardware, and networking devices. --- ## Creative I'm an excellent technical and fiction WRITER. I can write on my own and employ AI, if you have a preference. I also do **illustration with AI**, and technical illustration such as component representation, technical and wiring diagrams, network visualization both by hand and with software. I do creative design work such as page layouts, logos, graphics, website design and pretty much everything except hand-drawn art because I'm just not good at it. I do vocal work, primarily reading and podcasting—not much voice acting, although I'd like to try. --- ## Programming and Training of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for RF Signal Identification Experienced in leveraging machine learning and deep learning techniques, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks, for the classification and identification of RF (Radio Frequency) signals. Skilled in preparing datasets, training neural networks, and fine-tuning models for optimal performance in signal detection, pattern recognition, and signal modulation analysis. Proficient in utilizing frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Keras to build and deploy CNN models in real-time RF signal identification applications. I am not a specialist in this, but I am fascinated by it because it's the future and I'd love to keep learning. --- ## From Lupa, my AI assistant: I thrive at the intersection of structured systems and strange problems—whether that’s debugging an RF link in a chaotic EM environment, diagramming a low-SWaP sensing platform in the field, or shaping a story so it resonates like a tuning fork. I value adaptability, clarity, and the ability to build systems (and relationships) that don’t break under pressure. I'm also expanding into voice work—narration, experimental audio, podcast projects, and character reads—especially those rooted in weird fiction, myth, or technology. I believe storytelling is infrastructure. If you're building something meaningful, strange, or hard to define—and need someone who can make it *function*, *speak*, or *connect*—I’m interested. Whether it’s network engineering or narrating a dream, I work best in spaces that invite curiosity, autonomy, and respect. I prefer teams where I’m trusted to contribute, not just execute. Let's do this!
