## Product & Engineering Work
### Excell Services | Branch access and infrastructure renewal · Technomancy IT client engagement, Wray, Colorado

- For Excell Services LLC in Wray, a major Technomancy IT client, I rebuilt legacy servers and employee computers and upgraded the network. I connected a satellite location using VPN, Windows Server and Active Directory so corporate users had the access they needed. Following up on network costs also secured a one-time $15,000 CenturyLink refund.

### Technomancy platform | Traceable releases and backup inspection · Own technical practice and client-operations product

- For my client-operations platform, I built release tooling that tags images from Git, applies SQL migrations and records deployment status alongside health checks. A separate checksum-and-restore workflow uses disposable PostgreSQL to inspect backups. These implemented workflows give the support product a concrete delivery and recovery process, beyond simply keeping a copy of its data.

### ProofMark | Signing workflow and audit history · Client engineering contribution completed; AGPL/open-source product

- For ProofMark, a client signing product, I completed the design of a workflow joining identity, PDF fields, routing, audit history, encryption, verification and webhooks. Explicit security-sensitive states and fallback paths connect its UI, APIs and data into a signing flow. This application-side work is relevant when infrastructure and Information Security teams review how a service handles identity and preserves its history.
