Network Architect  •  Infrastructure Engineer  •  Automation Engineer  •  Homelab Enthusiast


👋 Hello

🔭 The Mission

I bridge the gap between "it works" and "it's secure". My passion lies in architecting robust digital environments—from enterprise-grade office networks to highly optimized, containerized self-hosted stacks. I treat my Homelab like a production data center, ensuring every service is resilient, monitored, and isolated.

🏠 The Homelab Blueprint

My private lab serves as the R&D department for my professional work, where I battle-test new configurations before they ever hit a production environment.

  • Automation First: Managing server states and deployments through version-controlled Ansible playbooks and Terraform manifests.
  • Hardened Security: Implementation of a pfSense edge firewall with strict inter-VLAN routing, local recursive DNS (Unbound), and automated TLS certificate rotation.
  • Observability: Centralized monitoring to ensure the "production-at-home" standard of 99.9% uptime.

🎵 Beyond the Terminal

When I'm not configuring subnets, I’m at The Sound Booth, managing my music studio and architecting the intersection of audio engineering, studio automation, and generative audio-visual systems.
