DevOps Engineer
Building reliable infrastructure and streamlining deployments
I'm a DevOps engineer with a background in industrial maintenance, where I learned to diagnose electrical issues under pressure, think systematically, and explain technical problems in a way real people can understand. That mix of calm problem-solving and clear communication now shapes the way I approach infrastructure and automation.
What began as a simple desire to self-host my own services grew into a full three-node Proxmox homelab that supports my immediate and extended family across multiple locations—each with different levels of tech comfort. The cluster runs Docker containers, LXCs, and Ubuntu servers powering everything from Jellyfin and Plex to full monitoring/logging stacks and a security layer using Traefik, CrowdSec, and Authentik for identity management.
Everything is documented and version-controlled in GitLab, with CI/CD pipelines orchestrating automated deployments. The part I enjoy most is eliminating manual work, which is why I'm steadily building deeper proficiency in Terraform, Ansible, and workflow automation tools like n8n.
Right now, I'm also developing a live demo environment on AWS using EKS—a practical way to show what I can do with infrastructure-as-code. Alongside that, I'm working toward my CompTIA Network+ and AWS certifications and am comfortable with UniFi networking, VLANs, reverse proxies, and firewall configuration.
