About Me

I'm an I.T. Analyst working hands-on with jobsite and area-office network infrastructure — firewalls, switches, wireless, and the automation and documentation that keeps it all auditable. This homelab is where I go deeper: a hybrid infrastructure environment combining a public-facing zero-trust edge on Oracle Cloud with an on-prem Kubernetes cluster and Docker host. Every component is provisioned from a single Terraform/Terragrunt repository and continuously reconciled with GitOps, the same architecture pattern used in production hybrid cloud/on-prem deployments.
