About Webmarble

    I worked was an Engineer at Monmouth Telecom in Red Bank, NJ from November 2014 to December 2021. I mostly wrote software but also worked on telecom engineering issues, building and maintaining the data center, as well as the hosted PBX end. We developed and maintained a Ruby on Rails code base for our customers while working in various other computer programming languages as well. We often received a lot of personal feature requests from various companies that we would have to write.

    Aside from software development, we were responsible for building, configuring, and racking new servers that would run the CentOS operating system on RAID 6. We were also responsible for running ethernet cable on bonded interfaces with redundancy. We maintained the telecom equipment(OC-48s, 2800s, MUXs, etc.) throughout the network. We also maintained plexus switches along with a plethora of other telecom equipment as well as various other daily tasks.

Publications:
[ DIY WeMo ]
On January 2018 I was published in the 2018 January edition of Nuts & Volts for my development of a wireless electromagnetic switch that allows me to turn my lights on an off using an android phone. I wrote the app and built the switch by hand. I did not use a pre-fabricated board aka module. Here is the publication https://nutsvolts.texterity.com/nutsvolts/201801/?folio=24&pg=24#pg24


[ DIY CCTV ]
On March 2019 I re-created a CCTV system that monitors motion from a USB webcam on a Raspberry Pi 3 using the OpenCV API. Once movement is detected by the system, it takes a picture of what set the motion detection software off and emails that picture to you. It also affords you the ability to remotely view the webcam from an Android application from anywhere in the world at any time. I had to roll my own custom kernel and build various source packages with very specific flags. The CCTV system software is written in Python and the software to remotely view the feed is written in Android(Java).

Other Notable Projects:
[ Super Computing AI SBC Cluster ]
I built a supercomputing AI SBC cluster that sits behind a fully managed ethernet switch on a separate tagged VLAN that goes over a trunk port which goes to my hacked OpenWRT router that can handle tagged traffic. The SBC's are overclocked and run OpenCV, Tensorflow, Gluster(for collective image processing), and they all run Gentoo Linux. Here is the build video.
