🚀 DevOps Engineer • 🐧 Linux Enthusiast • 🧩 Infrastructure Automator

I’m a DevOps engineer with a strong background in Linux system administration and infrastructure automation. I design, deploy, and operate self-hosted solutions across Kubernetes, Docker, and bare-metal environments — all powered by automation and secured with best practices.

• 🐳 Containerization & Orchestration: Docker, K3s, ArgoCD, Traefik
• 🖥️ Infrastructure Automation: Ansible, GitHub Actions, Terraform (WIP)
• 📦 App Stack: Django, React, PostgreSQL (Zalando/CloudNativePG), Redis
• 🔐 Security & Access: VPN (Pritunl), SSL, SSH, RBAC
• 📊 Monitoring & Logging: Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, Falco, Loki
• ☁️ Storage & Backup: Longhorn, SMB/NFS, Hetzner Storage Box, S3-compatible MinIO

I self-manage a multi-node K3s setup running:

• ✅ Django APIs and React frontends
• ✅ PostgreSQL clusters with HA & backup pipelines
• ✅ Redis clusters for caching and task queues
• ✅ Private Harbor registry with GitHub Actions integration
• ✅ CI/CD workflows for dev, staging, and production

I document every aspect of my self-hosted stack at docs.darkmode.dev, including:

• Kubernetes manifests
• Ingress setups with TLS
• GitHub Actions pipelines
• PostgreSQL HA and backups
• VPN and internal DNS configuration

I actively follow and use many open-source projects — here are a few I’ve starred or used in production:

• k3s
• cloudnative-pg
• argoproj/argo-cd
• prometheus-community/helm-charts
• longhorn
• traefik
