Linux admin by day. Homelab, automation and self-hosting the rest of the time 🌙
| Project | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Homelab | 24/7 Proxmox environment — Pi-hole + unbound recursive DNS, Vaultwarden with YubiKey FIDO2/WebAuthn, Tailscale mesh VPN, Uptime Kuma. Plus write-ups of every fault I had to diagnose. |
| JobSentry | Python CLI — Playwright scraping across ClearanceJobs, LinkedIn and Indeed, SQLite persistence, Claude scoring. Deployed to a Proxmox LXC with systemd timers and health checks. |
| SOAR-EDR Lab | Detection and response lab on LimaCharlie (EDR), Tines (SOAR) and TheHive (case management), with automated Slack/email alerting and end-to-end triage workflows. |
| Midas | Funding-rate strategy on Hyperliquid perps. Paper-traded 8 months, 766 trades, no detectable edge — so I published the negative result instead of tuning until the backtest looked good. |
| 🔍 The SSD wasn't dying — SATA power management was | 2,700 ATA errors/day, silently throttled to ¼ speed, clean SMART the whole time |
| 💾 Four days of silent backups | One bad line in jobs.cfg killed every job — reported nowhere but a unit journal |
| 🧹 Checking an orphaned ISO before deleting it | Recovered 72 GB, and nearly nuked the install media on two running VMs |
| 🖥️ A CPU that can't run the OS you need | RHEL 10 needs x86-64-v3, my host is v2 — solved with a distro build, not new hardware |
