Christopher Martinez — Software Engineer & DevOps Enthusiast
I am a Computing & Informatics student at Rowan University with a concentration in DevOps and Cybersecurity. My focus is on creating reliable systems, writing maintainable code, and learning through real-world projects. I have experience with multiple programming languages, Linux systems administration, and client-facing problem solving.
Project: Central Command Center
I built a multi-node Linux cluster from consumer hardware, migrating each machine from Windows to Debian-based Linux.
I configured one machine as a Wi-Fi gateway, connected the rest via Ethernet, and hosted a modded Minecraft server.
With limited resources (~11 GB RAM), I optimized JVM settings and tuned the server for performance.
This taught me practical networking, Linux administration, and system optimization under constraints.
Project: Mobile Modified Gaming
For a client, I successfully transferred and configured modded game files onto a Steam Deck.
I troubleshot USB cable limitations, explored Linux desktop mode, and used Wi-Fi file transfers with command line tools.
I also installed compatibility software to ensure smooth execution of the game in the SteamOS environment.
This project strengthened my ability to adapt, experiment, and deliver solutions on unusual hardware.
