Core Skills

What I Build & Maintain

From bare metal to cloud-native — production-grade infrastructure.

Infrastructure as Code

Reproducible, versioned environments with Ansible, Terraform & Proxmox — fully automated from day one.

Container Orchestration

Scalable deployments with Docker and automated container lifecycle management across the homelab.

CI/CD Automation

Automated pipelines from commit to production via GitLab CI — build, test, deploy without manual steps.

Monitoring & Alerting

Full observability with CheckMK, metrics, log aggregation and smart alerting before things break.

Network Architecture

Secure network design with VLANs, firewall rules, VPN tunnels and structured IP management.

CMDB & Documentation

Complete asset tracking, IP documentation and service mapping — everything in NetBox, nothing forgotten.

Journey

My Milestones

2021

First Steps in Linux & Networking

Set up a dedicated Linux server at home, dove into networking fundamentals — subnets, routing, VLANs — and fell in love with infrastructure.

2022

Homelab Foundation

Deployed a Proxmox cluster with structured VM management, establishing the foundation for everything that followed.

2023

Infrastructure as Code

Automated full-stack provisioning with Ansible — playbooks for every service, reproducible from bare metal in minutes.
