About Me
...
Where do I begin? I'm a Sydney-based IT Engineer with a deep passion for fixing and building
anything tech related.
I do love to bring my people skills into the IT space, my experience within the online
retail
and Managed Services space has given me a broad range of exposure to all the fun things that
go
wrong in tech, so coupled with my people skills and technical ability, I thrive!
I'd say my favourite ability is picking up any skill quickly and troubleshooting. Oh and
common
sense ahah.
These days, most of my free time goes into my home lab, where I experiment and tinker with
virtualisation, monitoring/observability, network design, and automation (as seen in my
topology
above).

Current Projects

I just created my own local AI inference server using Ollama & Open WebUI on Rocky Linux 9 -
hosted on bare-metal. I decided not to complicate things by using a hypervisor or K3s, I just
kept it
simple before I upgrade to a Mac Mini for power efficiency reasons, and bigger models.
Front End: ai.shamya.net
Inference: Llama 3.1 8B + Qwen2.5-Coder 7B
Security: Cloudflare Zero Trust OTP, SELinux, SSH-key only, no exposed ports
Stack: Rocky Linux 9 Minimal, Nvidia GTX 1070 (old as), Ollama, Docker,
Cloudflare Tunnel
