## Technical Profile

Independent systems engineer and technical builder specializing in homelab infrastructure, self-hosted platforms, AI automation systems, and embedded device engineering. Experienced designing complete technology ecosystems including Proxmox virtualization clusters, network infrastructure, local AI acceleration stacks, distributed microcontroller systems, RF communication platforms, and production-style self-hosted services. Combines software engineering, hardware prototyping, and infrastructure design to build integrated systems from concept through deployment.

## Core Engineering Expertise

- Proxmox hypervisors, virtualization clusters, and VM / CT orchestration
- Embedded firmware development across ESP32 device families
- Linux server engineering, containers, automation, and service administration
- RF systems: LoRa, Meshtastic mesh networking, and CC1101 experimentation
- Self-hosted SaaS platforms, website hosting, personal cloud, and dev tooling
- IoT sensors, telemetry systems, monitoring devices, and field hardware
- AI infrastructure, local LLM deployment, inference workflows, and acceleration
- Network infrastructure, SSH, VPN, reverse proxies, and remote access design

## Major Systems & Projects

- Designed and operate a multi-node homelab running Proxmox hypervisors with virtual machines and containers hosting AI services, automation platforms, databases, development environments, and websites.
- Architected a self-hosted SaaS ecosystem spanning Git services, workflow automation, cloud storage, development tooling, and web infrastructure with secure remote access.
- Built AI automation pipelines integrating local LLM models, APIs, orchestration logic, and agent-style workflows for research, monitoring, and data processing tasks.
- Engineered ESP32-based embedded systems including wireless monitoring devices, telemetry nodes, sensor platforms, and custom firmware for connected hardware tools.
- Developed long-range RF and mesh communication projects using LoRa radios, Meshtastic, and related wireless modules for distributed sensing and field networking.
- Implemented secure network infrastructure including SSH administration, VPN tunnels, reverse proxy routing, internal service exposure, and homelab segmentation strategies.
