The Ops Garage¶
Welcome to The Ops Garage — my public technical portfolio for cybersecurity operations, IT infrastructure, automation, GRC, and home lab engineering.
This site documents practical systems I have built, tested, automated, and improved. It is designed to show how I approach technical problems: identify the need, build a workable solution, document the process, and keep improving the workflow.
What This Site Shows¶
| Area | What It Demonstrates |
|---|---|
| Cybersecurity | Security monitoring, exposure review, incident response workflows, and practical risk awareness |
| IT Operations | Infrastructure management, troubleshooting, service visibility, and operational coordination |
| Automation | n8n workflows, Discord alerts, scheduled checks, and repeatable reporting |
| GRC | Compliance workflow design, control review, evidence organization, and RMF/CMMC study |
| Home Lab | Self-hosted infrastructure, Docker, Unraid, monitoring, networking, and technical experimentation |
| Documentation | Clear project writeups, lessons learned, technical notes, and portfolio-quality communication |
