Open to Junior Developer & IT Roles

Hi, I'm Luis.

Software Developer & IT Professional

I build practical software for security, automation, and cloud infrastructure — combining full-stack development with real-world experience running IT systems for businesses. Currently finishing my MSIT and looking for my next challenge.

Developer first.
IT operator second.

I'm Luis Alberto Colón — a software developer and IT professional finishing my Master's in Information Technology at the University of West Florida. I write code that solves real problems, and I understand the infrastructure it runs on.

Through founding NodeLink Technologies LLC, I've designed IT support systems, built MSP workflows from scratch, and developed tools that real businesses depend on — giving me the kind of production experience most junior developers don't have until year three on the job.

My edge: I can ship full-stack features and reason about cloud architecture, network security, and system constraints. I don't need to be walked through how production environments work — I've built and maintained them.

Software Development

Full-stack apps with Next.js, TypeScript, FastAPI, and REST APIs — focused on practical, deployable products.

Cybersecurity

DNS hardening, email authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), endpoint protection, and external vulnerability scanning.

Cloud Infrastructure

AWS hands-on: VPC design, IAM policies, EC2 with Auto Scaling, CloudWatch monitoring, and RDS deployments.

Networking & IT

VLANs, firewall rules, DNS/DHCP, VPNs — deployed on real hardware including Ubiquiti environments.

What I work with

A full-stack skill set spanning development, cloud, networking, and security — built through coursework, personal projects, and running a real IT business.

Blockchain Audit Log for SMB Security Compliance

Tamper-proof audit logging powered by smart contracts

A blockchain-based audit logging system that gives small businesses an immutable, verifiable record of security-relevant events - login attempts, permission changes, configuration updates, and data access. Each even is hashed and written to an Ethereum smart contract, making the audit cryptographically tamper-evident even from privileged insiders. Designed to help SMBs meet compliance requirements (HIPAA, SOC 2) without the cost of enterprise SIEM platforms
