Portrait of Carleton Lees — AI-minded infrastructure builder connecting LLM tooling, cloud systems, hardware support, and practical operations.

Profile

About

AI engineering and infrastructure work both reward patience, documentation, and calm troubleshooting.

I am studying Information Technology at George Mason University with a concentration in Computational Platforms and Infrastructure.

My practical work spans AI-assisted software delivery, Codex and Claude Code workflows, Git/GitHub collaboration, AI automation, AI code review, endpoint setup, home lab administration, self-hosted services, OpenWrt networking, and recovery planning.

I am seeking an AI engineering, cloud infrastructure, server support, or technical operations role where reliable systems and clear engineering workflows matter.
