Personal Infrastructure Home Lab
Technologies:
- PROXMOX VE
- UBUNTU SERVER
- KALI LINUX
- WINDOWS 11
- VLAN
- DOCKER
- MIKROTIK
Role: Administrator, Network Engineer
Timeline: 2024 - present
Status: Active
The Challenge:
I needed a comprehensive hands-on environment to test network configurations, security Implementations, and virtualization technologies without impacting production systems. Realistic enterprise scenarios are required for skill development and proof of concept testing.
The Solution:
A multi-platform homelab, designed and deployed using enterprise-grade virtualization technologies, with isolated network segments for security testing while maintaining interconnectivity for realistic business scenarios. Monitoring and logging solutions for complete infrastructure visibility were also implemented with my Network Scanner Project.
TECHNICAL PROJECTS
INFRASTRUCTURE & SECURITY IMPLEMENTATIONS
Network Discovery & Monitoring Tool
Role: Developer, Security Analyst
Timeline: 2025 - present
Status: Active
The Challenge:
Small to medium businesses need network visibility and monitoring without enterprise-level complexity and costs. Many organizations lack dedicated cybersecurity staff to manage sophisticated monitoring tools, creating visibility gaps in their infrastructure.
The Solution:
Developing a lightweight, user-friendly network scanning and monitoring application with an intuitive single-pane-of-glass interface. Currently, the project has implemented ARP discovery capabilities with planned expansion to network discovery, vulnerability assessment, and automated security reporting.

Role: Administrator, Network Engineer
Timeline: January 2026-April 2026
Status: Completed
The Challenge:
After Building My Homelab, I needed a project to run within it to gain perspective on how misconfigurations arise and how attackers find them.
The Solution:
Utilizing my Homelab to build a small business simulation, deliberately introducing common vulnerabilities (default credentials, unnecessary services, outdated OSs), then testing for them externally with a Kali Linux machine
