BUILD.BREAK.UNDERSTAND.REPEAT.
Systems administrator and infrastructure engineer. I build infrastructure, automate systems and investigate things when they inevitably break.
breaking things,
understanding why.
Things I build.
Infrastructure, automation, networking and experiments. Some are production systems. Some are glorified learning exercises.
Infrastructure Automation
Small tools and automation systems designed to eliminate repetitive operational work.
Homelab Infrastructure
Self-hosted infrastructure for experimentation, automation, learning and running services.
MeshCore / LoRa
Experiments with decentralized radio networking using ESP32 and LoRa.
Network Infrastructure
Routing, VPN, DNS and network services connecting different environments.
My infrastructure
A private infrastructure built for experimentation, automation, learning and occasionally breaking things on purpose.
Engineer,
not just operator.
I work with infrastructure, Linux, networking, automation and systems that need to keep working when nobody is watching them.
My approach is simple: understand how a system actually works, automate what can be automated, and document what eventually needs to be fixed at three in the morning.
Outside of work, I build things in my homelab, experiment with embedded systems and radio, and occasionally spend an unreasonable amount of time debugging something that should have taken ten minutes.
