Passionate Home Server Operator & Solutions Engineer

I wonder... do I like solving problems so much? Or is it that I just like problems? ๐Ÿฅด

I'm focused on declarative infrastructure and security-first design. Deep diving into Ceph, Docker, Kubernetes, Proxmox, and Windows Server. I take pride in the fact that I can convince myself that pouring all of my time into these things is making my life more manageable.

I maintain the production environment for PrecisionPlanIT with Proxmox, K8s, Ceph storage, and automated deployments.

Mission: Security and infrastructure knowledge should be accessible to everyone. Technical proficiency is no longer optionalโ€”it's a requirement for navigating modern life.

The security of one is the security of all. We are in this together. ๐ŸŒฑ

๐Ÿ’š Values & Vibes

8+ years Vegan, anticapitalist and anarchist. Okay maybe not anarchist, please don't set the world on fire...

My etiquette? You can ask me for the CarFax. ๐Ÿš— I'm clean as truck boo ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿ’–

I believe in brutal honesty and being my unrestrained self. I feel like if being myself is a problem then I have something to work on.

WYSIWYG, I wonder if the truth is that I am an old soul and my cringe has always been my subconscious attempt to adapt to the times...

Never toxic, love and light above all โœจ
