I build self-hosted infrastructure
Homelab tinkerer and automation engineer. I run a small private cloud, wire up CI/CD and secrets management, and automate the boring parts — then share the homelab bits worth stealing.
I'm a builder at heart. My happy place is a rack of quiet machines doing useful work while I'm asleep — provisioning, monitoring, backing themselves up, and telling me when something's off.
Clustered virtualization, IaC, secrets, identity & SSO — a real private cloud at home.
CI/CD pipelines, agents, and scripts that turn repetitive ops into one-liners.
Trading bots, edge devices, self-hosted everything. If it can be automated, it will be.
A mix of private platforms (described at a high level) and public homelab projects you can actually use.
Alongside my own infrastructure, I take on a limited number of outside engagements — reach out if one of these fits what you need.
Agentic workflows, MCP tooling, and AI-assisted operations — practical automation built on real infrastructure, not a demo.
Terraform, Vault, AWS, VMware, Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible — designed, secured, and automated end to end, not just stood up once.
Design through deployment: sites, e-commerce, and the hosting stack underneath, run on infrastructure I operate myself.
Zero-trust, least-privilege secrets management, hardening, and real security reviews — not a checkbox exercise after the fact.
Right-sizing, cost-aware design, and moving workloads onto cloud infrastructure without a rewrite-everything detour.
CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Forgejo Actions), identity & SSO, monitoring and alerting, DNS and reverse proxying — the connective tissue most teams underinvest in.
