Homelab Platform

A self-hosted bare-metal platform used to run internal services, development workloads, AI experiments, backups, and network-integrated automation in a controlled home environment.

Role: Platform / DevOps Engineer
Timeline: Ongoing

PodmanLinuxSelf-hostingAutomation

Goal

The homelab runs at home on a dedicated Intel NUC and is used as a controlled environment for self-hosted services, development workloads, infrastructure experiments, and operational practice.
The setup is intentionally kept practical: Rocky Linux runs headless on bare metal, while services are containerized with Podman instead of introducing Kubernetes before it is needed.

Planning

Kept the platform simple and maintainable by using bare-metal Rocky Linux with Podman as the main runtime.
Used macvlan networking for selected containers so services can receive their own IP addresses on the local network.

Results

A practical self-hosted platform for running private development tools, internal services, AI experiments, and temporary test applications.
A repeatable backup routine to a Synology NAS, executed every three hours during the day through systemd and rsync within Python based software.

projects / iot-essentials-pico

IoT Essentials Pico Project

A school IoT project using a Raspberry Pi Pico, CircuitPython, analog input, PWM output, sonar distance measurement, and RGB LED feedback.

Role: Software Development Student
Timeline: Academic year 2023 — 2024

IoTCircuitPythonRaspberry Pi PicoSensors

Goal

Build a working breadboard setup around a Raspberry Pi Pico using sensors, LEDs, analog input, and digital output.
Read a potentiometer through analog-to-digital converter and use the value to control LED intensity.

Planning

Started from the required hardware setup and translated it into a breadboard circuit with clear component connections.
Implemented the software in small functional blocks: potentiometer reading, PWM output, blinking LED, sonar reading, and RGB feedback.

Results

Potentiometer input was successfully read and used to control the brightness of a PWM-driven LED.
A second LED blinked when the potentiometer value dropped below the configured threshold.

Overview

Raspberry Pi Pico mounted on a breadboard.
MCP3008 used as analog-to-digital converter for potentiometer input.

Role: Team Member – Realisation Phase
Timeline: Academic project

ESF+Power AppsPower PlatformSharePointTeam Project

Goal

Translate the ESF+ process needs into usable digital support.
Support volunteers and administrators with stock and reservation workflows.

Planning

Worked as a team during the realisation phase of the ESF+ project.
Divided responsibilities across Power Apps screens, data handling, access and documentation.

Results

Delivered Power Apps components for stock management and reservations.
Provided screens for product lookup, stock updates and reservation handling.

Overview

The project supported an ESF+ initiative linked to food distribution and assistance for people in need.
The solution was aimed at volunteers, administrators and project stakeholders.
