I'm a computer science student who learns best by building and self‑hosting real things. What started as curiosity about how the web actually ships to users turned into a homelab running Proxmox, ZFS storage, Cloudflare tunnels, GitHub self‑hosted runners, and a growing collection of services I actively iterate on.
Lately I've been focused on automation, observability, and developer workflows: wiring up CI/CD pipelines on my own infrastructure, rolling a private Gitea instance, and experimenting with GitOps + lightweight Kubernetes (k3s soon™). I enjoy the full loop—designing a system, deploying it, breaking it, then hardening and automating it.
I also build tools for my day‑to‑day life. CanvaSync syncs university assignments from Canvas into Google Calendar and Todoist using a Next.js + Go architecture deployed in my lab. Projects like this keep me exploring polyglot architectures, idempotent job design, and secure edge access.
Right now I'm deepening my skills in infrastructure, distributed systems basics, and secure self‑hosting while continuing to write about the journey. If any of this resonates, feel free to reach out—I'm always open to exchanging ideas.
Current interests: self‑hosted DevOps, lightweight Kubernetes, automation workflows, API design, and making student life less manual.
