// 01 ABOUT

Cloud architecture, applied at home.

I'm a Junior Cloud Solutions Architect focused on designing reliable, secure and cost-aware solutions in the cloud.

Outside of work I run a self-hosted infrastructure, build IoT devices on ESP32 and explore applied AI. These projects are my testing ground: everything described here is a real system that I deploy, monitor and maintain myself.

// 02 PROJECTS

Selected projects

INFRASTRUCTURE

Self-hosted infrastructure

A Proxmox-based homelab running 15+ containerized services. Reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS on a custom domain, centrally managed stacks and dependency updates delivered as reviewed pull requests.

  • Proxmox
  • Docker
  • Caddy
  • Renovate
  • Git

AUTOMATION

Workflow automation

Scheduled and event-driven workflows in n8n that connect APIs, notifications and routine operations — reducing manual work and keeping the infrastructure largely self-maintaining.

  • n8n
  • Cron
  • ntfy
  • APIs

IOT

Smart home & embedded

Home Assistant as the control plane of the household, with custom dashboards and purpose-built ESP32 controllers for lighting and other devices.

  • Home Assistant
  • ESP32
  • ESPHome

APPLIED AI

AI-assisted engineering

Daily hands-on work with large language models and AI agents, including AI-assisted development with Claude Code to design, build and operate the systems showcased here.

  • LLMs
  • Agents
  • Claude Code

DATA OWNERSHIP

Self-hosted daily tools

Personal finance, task management, notes, a password manager and a media tracker — all self-hosted, which means full control over my data and backups I manage myself.

  • Docker
  • Privacy
  • Open source

RELIABILITY

Resilience & remote access

Automated nightly backups to local disk and cloud storage, health monitoring with instant push alerts, and private remote access over a VPN mesh.

  • Backups
  • Monitoring
  • Tailscale
  • ntfy
