Welcome to my website, i have created this to let you have an insight into my work and interests. And also to share some of my personal projects with you!
My name is Dean if you haven’t already guessed. Most of the stuff you read about me will probably be technology based, since it’s all i do, it’s my career and my hobby (when i have the spare time). I also have other hobbies like cycling, walking and running! Health is the most important thing in your life at the end of the day! Got to keep active!
I have my own technology services company which provides services such as Web Design, Server configurations and installations, WiFi installations, Video Editing, etc. They all operate under Dean Corporation, however my favorite one to work on is by far Geekabit.
I currently work in the Ministry of Justice as a Remote Support Systems Engineer.
This is a networking company i own in order to attract potential free-lancing jobs outside of my normal work.
I used to be a food delivery driver, not a passion of mine but it did help the savings!
(Although i usually never get the time to do any of it)
I’m a bit of a network geek and love building a network from scratch, especially the manual work side of it. I wish i had more chance to do manual work sometimes.
Having an ICT mindset has its downsides. Sitting in a chair all day isn’t good, so I try to get out for some exercise everyday. Usually for a walk or run but I occasionally cycle too!
I love being able to set up new servers, whether it is a new rack of virtual hosts or configuring Linux, i enjoy both but often troubleshooting can be difficult.
This is one that I have recently started in 2020. I bought my first MacBook Pro and want to learn how to create apps. Once I have created some I will post a portfolio on my site!
Up until i was 18, the majority of my skills were self-taught, electrical work, wood work, engineering, computer skills and video editing. But once i started my career i entered a whole new dimension of skill opportunities.
Here I will show you how you can build your own smart blinds for around £10! This model uses a Node MCU to run our program on and is controllable using API built into the source code!
Here i will show you how to hack the NeosCam or WyzeCam v2 with custom firmware which enables us to run our out RTSP Server on the camera so that we can integrate it with any of our self-contained systems.
Here i will show you how to install HAProxy on Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS and also how to configure it as a reverse proxy with SSL Termination, HTTPS Re-Direction and automatic certificate renewal.
Here i will show you how to install Duplicati as a service on Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS. This is a great and extremely versatile backup solution with AES-256bit Encryption built-in.
