  • Linux Systems: Advanced administration, security hardening, and performance optimization
  • Cybersecurity: Network security, identity management, and vulnerability analysis
  • Hands-on Projects: Designed secure and scalable cloud environments combining automation, DevOps workflows, and best security practices

Personal Projects

These projects allow me to explore new technologies, experiment with modern infrastructure patterns, and continuously improve my skills in automation, cloud, and DevOps engineering.

Kubernetes Homelab

Self-Hosted Production-Grade Infrastructure

Built a fully automated Kubernetes platform using Proxmox, Terraform, Ansible, GitLab CI/CD, and ArgoCD to replicate a real-world production environment. The homelab simulates complete CI/CD and GitOps workflows — from provisioning virtual machines to deploying containerized workloads with monitoring and secrets management.
