Christopher Miller
IT and infrastructure. Networking, Microsoft 365, Linux, and the internal tools a business needs and doesn't have. La Grange, Texas.
Summary
IT and infrastructure professional with 3+ years running enterprise networks, Microsoft 365 environments and the systems a business depends on. Sole on-site IT lead across multiple Texas locations. Alongside that I've built around two dozen internal tools — a document management system replacing a paid product, a lightning alerting system wired to the site alarms, a search tool for our equipment manuals — most of which are still in daily use.
I build those tools working with AI tools rather than writing the code by hand, and I'd rather say so plainly. More on how that works on the about page.
Experience
McCourt Equipment
May 2025 – Present · La Grange, TXIT Coordinator
- Sole on-site IT lead across multiple Texas locations. Design, deploy and maintain infrastructure, security systems, and business applications.
- Deployed and manage Ubiquiti UniFi across sites — UDM, switching, access points, Protect and Access — with VLAN segmentation, site-to-site VPN, firewall policy and wireless design.
- Oversaw migration of 60+ cameras from a legacy NVR platform to UniFi Protect, and deployed Starlink for remote and emergency site connectivity.
- Administer Microsoft 365 and Entra ID — user lifecycle, SharePoint architecture and intranet, Power Automate workflows, and Graph API integrations running unattended.
- Built a search tool over our equipment manual library that answers technician questions and shows the exact manual page each answer came from (see case study).
- Built an application that automates a manual engineering calculation used in sales and produces finished customer reports (see case study).
- Built a document management system to replace a paid product — handles documents arriving four different ways, reads scanned ones, and keeps a permanent record of changes (see case study).
- Built a lightning detection system that sets off the site alarms so crews get off the equipment, running continuously on a Linux server and verified in real conditions.
- Built gate control for the yard that drives the relay hardware directly, confirms the relay actually fired before reporting success, and monitors the solar supply powering it.
- Implemented Freshdesk for ticketing and asset tracking with custom dashboards; deployed UKG timeclock kiosks across nine locations.
- Automated monthly fleet reporting from our GPS tracking — usage, yard time, fault codes and safety events, delivered as per-vehicle PDF reports.
