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.
