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).

My Projects
...
I'm basically trying to automate my whole deployment on Proxmox Node 3, making Terraform create
template Vms for K3s to be installed on, via the Proxmox API. Then Ansible will kick in and
install everything else, I've also added in a bootstrap app in ArgoCD to make all the Yamls
install for whatever pods and services.
- Observability: Grafana/Prometheus + exporters, Loki (logs), Tempo + OTel (tracing)
- Secure access: Cloudflare Tunnel + Zero Trust, Prometheus kept LAN-only
- Automation: GitHub Actions runner + ArgoCD for CI/CD into the lab

some test Grafana embeds down there too! Next project: TrueNAS Scale.
