Projects

A collection of my homelab builds, network infrastructure projects, and technical experiments.


Active Projects

XCP-ng Homelab Cluster

Status: Production

My primary homelab environment running multiple VMs for testing, monitoring, and production services. Features automated backups, high availability configurations, and enterprise-grade networking.

Tech Stack: XCP-ng, Docker, UniFi networking, Prometheus, Grafana, Synology NAS


Network Monitoring & Observability Platform

Status: Production

Comprehensive monitoring solution tracking network devices, containers, and infrastructure health across multiple environments. Monitors F5 load balancers, Palo Alto firewalls, Juniper routers, Arista switches, and containerized services.

Tech Stack: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, SNMP exporters, Oxidized, Zabbix


Docker Infrastructure & Automation

Status: Production

Containerized services including this WordPress site, workflow automation tools, and network utilities. Features dual Traefik reverse proxy setup for high availability, proper network segmentation, and SSL termination via Cloudflare.

Tech Stack: Docker, Docker Compose, Traefik (dual instances), n8n automation, Cloudflare


UniFi WiFi Manager API Integration

Status: Production

Custom API orchestration solution for managing UniFi wireless infrastructure. A breakthrough project that transformed my perspective on network automation from “APIs are pointless” to mastering programmatic network control.

Tech Stack: UniFi Controller APIs, Python, custom automation scripts


Planned Projects

  • Network automation with Ansible and Terraform for infrastructure-as-code
  • Kubernetes learning cluster for container orchestration beyond Docker Swarm
  • Network lab environment for certification studies and protocol testing
  • Advanced firewall log analysis and threat intelligence platform
  • BGP routing lab for hands-on protocol experimentation
