Hi. I’m Jeremey

I’m an Oklahoma-based Systems, Network & Applications Administrator with 20+ years of experience—and yes, I’m currently ‘404: Current Position Not Found. Trying a manual refresh…’. Long story short: I whipped up this site on the fly to showcase what I can do under pressure. Spoiler alert: not everything here is polished to pixel perfection, but it’s enough to tell you I know my way around a rack… and a few lines of questionable humor.

So, if you’re cool with a PC Master Race geek who tinkers with home labs for fun, occasionally binging Dragon Ball, Diablo, and questionable K-pop earworms because I have daughters (while quoting Deadpool, of course), buckle in. This spot is purely for your entertainment—but mostly my own little shameless self-promotion. Let’s see what kind of trouble we can get into together. 🙂

Software & Systems Experience

Solutions-focused Senior Systems Administrator with 20+ years of experience managing enterprise infrastructure, hybrid networks, and self-hosted environments. Skilled at aligning IT infrastructure with business objectives through secure architecture, resilient DNS design, and high-availability system planning. Comfortable leading infrastructure upgrades, cross-team collaboration, and end-user support across healthcare, education, and SMB environments. Recent work includes Zero Trust remote access, DNS tunneling, and high-uptime virtualized environments. Passionate about improving stability, documentation, and performance.

I thrive in environments where reliability, documentation, and long-term thinking matter—and I bring a creative edge through ongoing R&D work, product prototyping, and automation projects that keep my skills sharp.

Core strengths include virtualization (Proxmox, VMware), DNS and networking, Zero Trust architecture, automation/scripting, and policy-based infrastructure design.

Professional Accomplishments

Led rapid deployment of complex SD-WAN rollout, coordinating ISPs, firewall vendors, and internal stakeholders.

Ran internal system migrations from on-premise infrastructure to cloud-hosted platforms (including Google Workspace and external vendor solutions), aligning workflows, email, and identity services with long-term hosted SaaS architecture. Familiar with the challenges of hybrid identity, service decommissioning, DNS re-pointing, and multi-site coordination.

Executed seamless Cisco VOIP + network upgrade reducing analog load and improving endpoint manageability.

Consolidated server infrastructure into VMware vSphere, reducing energy usage by 50% and improving DR posture.

Managed 15-site Active Directory cleanup, DHCP remapping, and Citrix environment stabilization for 400+ users.

Engineered a full Zero Trust network access stack using Cloudflare Tunnel and Pi-hole DNS, eliminating port forwarding and public IP exposure across self-hosted services.

Developed CGNAT bypass device prototype with Raspberry Pi, WireGuard, Pi-hole, and Cloudflare — including user onboarding flow, auto-updates, and failover logic.

Refactored home network into segmented VLANs with split DNS, Avahi bridging, and Unbound recursion — enabling secure cross-VLAN resolution and service isolation.

Upgraded a legacy single-server setup to a Hyper-V multiple split-service VMs—Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and file/print services—to improve uptime, manageability, and long-term flexibility for the client.
