Home Lab
When I’m not building infrastructure at scale, you’ll find me tinkering in my home lab—a playground for testing new technologies, self-hosting services, and experimenting with ideas before they hit production.
This Blog
This space documents my journey through both enterprise and personal projects. You’ll find practical tutorials, battle-tested patterns, and lessons learned from real-world implementations. Whether you’re scaling Kubernetes clusters, setting up GitOps workflows, or building your first home lab, I hope these posts help you on your journey.
