About Me
🔧 Infrastructure Architect specializing in automation, security, and self-hosted solutions. With deep expertise in virtualization, network security, and Linux administration, I design and deploy resilient systems that scale.
Currently managing a sophisticated homelab infrastructure featuring Proxmox virtualization, MikroTik routing, comprehensive monitoring with Grafana, and containerized workloads. I'm passionate about infrastructure-as-code, automated workflows, and emerging AI/ML technologies.
Philosophy: Security first, automation everywhere, monitor everything. Always learning, always testing, always optimizing.
