Accomplishments

My ability to do Computer construction & Deconstruction:

I Fully Deconstructed a Computer has you can see in the photos. Showing Every part of it and that. I took everything out of the computer. And then Put it all back in the correct spot with every screw and Everything still worked and functioned Properly with Zero problems.

Hackintosh

One of my more significant technical accomplishments involved repairing a Lenovo ThinkBook and successfully installing macOS Tahoe. This process required compiling an EFI bootloader with the correct drivers to boot without errors. I used the device for approximately one month without encountering any stability issues; the system remained reliable, with features like AirDrop and AirPlay/casting to Roku and other TVs functioning correctly.

Hosting and Maintaining a Minecraft Server

I have hosted and maintained a Minecraft server for a solid four months with no issues, using a service called AMP ($20 one-time fee). Before this, I operated another server that ran perfectly for about five months and still is. I also bought the domain "dennisdanil.com" to streamline the connection process for players.

The server runs smoothly on the hardware I’ve built and configured. Through this process, I have learned how to port forward, keep the server up to date, and manage modded environments. I have also gained extensive experience configuring routers, servers, and computers to optimize them for hosting.

Home Lab & Personal Projects

Another big accomplishment of mine is building a "Home Lab." Basically, I turned my house into a mini data center where I run my own private servers for games like Minecraft and other projects.

I also built my own custom computer bot from scratch using a programming language called Python, & C++, HTML, Ect. As of April 23, 2026, the bot has been running for over two years! I even made a simple webpage that I can open to change the bot's settings or just check on how it's doing.

Everything I’ve built is completely self-hosted, meaning I own and control all the equipment myself. My equipment lives in my closet, which makes it easy to manage while keeping everything quiet and cool. To make sure the connection is perfect, I ran Ethernet cables (Also making the cables myself) to all my devices so I don’t have to deal with the lag or drops you sometimes get with Wi-Fi.

I’ve come a long way since I started. My "first server" was actually an old Galaxy S10e that had a broken, blacked-out screen. Since I couldn't see anything on the phone, I used a program called scrcpy to see the phone's screen on my PC and learned how to use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to control it. Through that, I learned how to use special commands to install apps, change the screen resolution, and take screenshots directly from my computer. The bot lived on that phone for a year before I moved it over to a small Raspberry Pi computer.

Small Business network replica

Here, I show that I know how to set up a Business network with network-attached storage, a Printer over Wi-Fi, and a scanner, all managed from a Wi-Fi router and multiple computers, with everything printed or scanned to/from the network-attached storage.

Here I'm demonstrating. I know how to set up a LAN party game on Minecraft. It is being hosted via my laptop, and we are all playing via LAN Only (IP to IP). I show that I know how to host and set up Local Area Networking without the need for the internet.

Setting up multable laptops/computers at once

In this photo, you can see that I am capable of managing many laptops/devices at once, installing Windows, updating drivers, ect and I am capable of installing Windows on 15 laptops in one day with only 3 Windows installation media.
