Bridging traditional systems with modern DevOps. Building containerized, zero-trust, self-hosted infrastructure that scales.

About Me
Bridging Traditional IT & Modern DevOps
With 7+ years of hands-on experience in complex server management and enterprise networking, I specialise in architecting resilient infrastructure — from bare-metal systems and enterprise firewalls to containerised deployments and self-hosted automation workflows.
I believe infrastructure should be reproducible, auditable, and self-healing. Every system I build is designed for zero-downtime operations, version-controlled configuration, and automated recovery.

Infrastructure Portfolio
Featured Architecture
Production-grade infrastructure systems I've designed and deployed — from zero-trust networks to fully self-hosted enterprise stacks.
Zero-Trust Site-to-Site Network
Engineered a secure, zero-trust network utilising Tailscale to bridge physical locations without static IPs, managed entirely through custom subnets and exit nodes.
Self-Hosted Automation Hub
Deployed a fully dockerised Tactical RMM and self-hosted n8n environment to automate daily IT workflows, monitor infrastructure, and reduce manual administration.
Enterprise Homelab & Services
Architected a robust self-hosted environment using Proxmox and Docker Compose, automating deployments for enterprise-grade services like Mailu and Nextcloud.
