Portfolio & Case Studies

Why this matters

Real work shows how a problem was handled, what actions were taken, and what results were created. These examples reflect how I approach both individual client systems and more advanced infrastructure projects.


Client and Desktop Work

Full System Rescue, Data Recovery, and SSD Migration

Situation: A desktop contained severe file system corruption and unpredictable crashes that placed important documents and photos at risk.

Action: I completed a full diagnostic review, backed up all recoverable data, replaced the failing drive with a new SSD, installed a clean operating system, restored user data, and configured the system for stable daily use.

Result: The client regained full access to important files. System speed improved and future failure risk was reduced.

Laptop Refresh and Performance Optimization

Situation: A laptop slowed down due to software clutter, outdated drivers, and an unstable operating system.

Action: I reinstalled the system, applied all firmware and driver updates, removed unnecessary background processes, and restored user data.

Result: Boot time improved, applications opened quickly, and the overall experience became more dependable.

SSD Upgrade and RAM Expansion for Heavy Photo and Spreadsheet Work

Situation: A user working with large photos and multiple spreadsheets experienced delays, freezing, and slow load times.

Action: I installed a new SSD, upgraded the RAM to 16 GB, and configured the system to handle heavier workloads more effectively.

Result: The client reported significant improvements in speed, stability, and workflow comfort.

Remote Support and Cloud Sync Repair

Situation: A remote client lost access to cloud files due to account sync failures, and several important folders appeared incomplete.

Action: I corrected the sync configuration, verified account access, repaired local file structures, checked data integrity, and created a simple backup routine for the future.

Result: The client regained all files and gained a clearer understanding of safe data handling.

Infrastructure and Enterprise Support

Server Consolidation and Virtualization Upgrade for a Small Business

Challenge: A small business relied on multiple aging physical servers. The hardware was costly and difficult to maintain.

Solution: I designed a virtualization environment using a single physical server with multiple virtual machines. I configured storage, backup processes, and routine maintenance procedures.

Outcome: The business reduced hardware costs, improved system reliability, and simplified future upgrades.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure for a Remote Workforce

Challenge: A distributed team needed secure, consistent access to company tools and files from different locations.

Solution: I built a virtual desktop system with secure access, standardized software images, central storage, and clear documentation.

Outcome: Staff gained stable access from any location, and the company reduced maintenance time and complexity.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Using Virtualization

Challenge: A client had no formal recovery plan and faced a high risk of data loss due to aging servers.

Solution: I built a system with virtual machine snapshots, off site backups, written failover steps, and scheduled recovery tests.

Outcome: Recovery time improved, the risk of data loss declined, and the client gained confidence in long term stability.

Hybrid Infrastructure Planning for On Prem and Cloud Systems

Challenge: A business needed to modernize systems without shutting down operations or risking data loss.

Solution: I reviewed the full infrastructure, created a plan that combined on prem resources with cloud services, prepared phased migrations, secured remote access, and documented every step.

Outcome: The business gained flexibility and improved reliability while keeping critical services online throughout the transition.
