04. Case Studies

PROJECTS

Real-world examples of how I solve complex infrastructure and workflow problems.

AV Automation

OBS Watchdog Dashboard

The Problem: Monitoring multiple concurrent livestreams in separate rooms was manual and error-prone.
The Solution: Built a Python dashboard utilizing OBS WebSockets to poll CPU, FPS, and Network status in real-time.
Impact: 100% visibility on broadcast health from a single screen.
DevOps / Tooling

Dokploy Self-Service Portal

The Problem: The team needed a centralized way to run and deploy internal utility scripts.
The Solution: Deployed Dokploy (Docker-based) on Linux. Configured Git integration for easy script updates.
Impact: Reduced manual deployment time by 50%.
Storage / Backup

Automated NAS Offsite Backup

The Problem: Local Synology backups lacked a consistent offsite replication strategy.
The Solution: Engineered an rclone script to encrypt and sync critical NAS data to Google Drive nightly.
Impact: Fully automated disaster recovery compliance.
Infrastructure

Rapid Lab Provisioning

The Problem: An office move required setting up 6 complex research labs in under a week.
The Solution: Standardized racking diagrams, cable management, and NDI network config.
Impact: 6 Labs deployed in 5 days; Zero study delays.
Asset Management

Snipe-IT & Barcode Implementation

The Problem: Asset tracking was done via spreadsheets, leading to lost equipment.
The Solution: Deployed Snipe-IT with JumpCloud SSO. Implemented physical barcode scanning workflows.
Impact: 99% Asset accuracy and faster audit times.
