PC Build - Assembled a custom desktop PC, installed Windows, and configured drivers.
Home Network Setup - Installed and configured a router, switch, and firewall for secure home network.
Repurposed Pc for Multi-VM Game Hosting - Converted a decommissioned Dell OptiPlex 3040 from a police station into a home server running two virtual machines. Created and configured multiplayer game servers, implemented port forwarding, and optimized settings to allow friends to connect remotely
Home Automation System - Deployed Home Assistant in VirtualBox to automate household devices, set up smart lighting controls, and configured a wall-mounted tablet interface for centralized management.
Secure Raspberry Pi 5 NAS Server - I designed and deployed a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) solution using a Raspberry Pi 5 with OpenMediaVaultto provide a simple and reliable platform for managing storage and services. To enable secure remote access, I implemented WireGuard VPN, allowing me to reach my files over the internet without exposing ports to the public. The server was hardened by disabling default accounts, enforcing SSH key-based authentication, configuring UFW firewall rules, and deploying Fail2ban to prevent intrusion attempts. To ensure data integrity and availability, I also automated system security with unattended upgrades and continuous log monitoring.
