Systems Administrator | Homelab Enthusiast | Infrastructure Tinkerer

I'm passionate about building reliable, automated infrastructure. When I'm not managing systems, I'm learning new technologies and documenting my journey.

Operating Systems: Arch Linux (daily driver), Ubuntu Server, Windows
Virtualization & Containers: Docker, Docker Compose
Infrastructure as Code: Ansible, Bash scripting
Networking: TCP/IP, DNS, Firewalls (iptables/ufw), Reverse Proxies
Services & Tools: Nginx, SSH, Git, Prometheus/Grafana (learning)

My homelab is where I experiment and build practical experience:

• Ubuntu Server running multiple Docker containers (web services, media server, monitoring)
• Arch Linux daily driver - comfortable with troubleshooting and system configuration
• Automated deployments using Ansible playbooks
• Containerized services with Docker and Docker Compose
• Self-hosted solutions for backups, media, and home automation

Infrastructure as Code for my home server environment

• Ansible playbooks for reproducible server setup
• Docker Compose configurations for multi-service deployments
• Documentation on architecture and troubleshooting

(Add more projects as you create them)

• Kubernetes orchestration
• Terraform for infrastructure provisioning
• Advanced networking concepts
• CI/CD pipeline implementation
