Griffin

Washington State

I build practical software, infrastructure, and operational tools for real-world problems. Most of these projects started as something I needed myself.

US Navy · Submarine Service
Started as an electronics technician — radio systems and countermeasures. Became a network administrator running fiber optic and copper networks aboard a submarine. That's where the infrastructure obsession began.

Background

I run a small ISP, a micro-colocation facility, and a utility asset management software company in Washington State. The tools I build solve problems I've actually encountered — which means they're practical, tested under real conditions, and built around how operations actually work.

I started my career as a submarine electronics technician in the US Navy — radio systems · electronic countermeasures · fiber optic & copper networks. Becoming the network administrator aboard a submarine in the 1990s was the turning point that got me into computers, and I never looked back.

Projects
01
NetOps
ISP Operations Platform
FastAPI · SQLite · SNMP DOCSIS 3.0 · Leaflet Maps Rocky Linux · Arris C4

Started as modem monitoring and evolved into a full ISP operations platform. SNMP polling, DOCSIS telemetry, spectrum analysis, customer views, provisioning hooks, and asset tracking — built around the actual workflow of running a cable system. I run it on my own plant.

02
Pole Track
Utility Asset Management
FastAPI · SQLite · React Cloudflare Pages · S3 GIS · Field Workflows

Utility infrastructure tracking for poles, substations, fiber nodes, and field assets. Inspection scheduling, GIS mapping, and field crew workflows. Built for operations teams that need a practical system, not enterprise software with enterprise pricing.
