I’m a Systems Engineer specializing in Linux infrastructure with a strong focus on enterprise environments. I enjoy managing and automating complex systems, running a sophisticated homelab that mirrors enterprise-grade infrastructure.
My homelab is a hands-on playground that closely mirrors enterprise infrastructure.
It’s been a challenging but rewarding journey—setting up, integrating, and automating all these systems has taught me a lot about troubleshooting, resilience, and real-world IT.
