Enterprise Hybrid Cloud & AI Lab

4 Physical Nodes • Proxmox VE 8.x • LangGraph • 6.9TB MergerFS

Provisioned and orchestrated a 4-node bare-metal hybrid cloud spanning AMD Ryzen and Intel Core hypervisors paired with ARM64 edge diagnostics nodes.

Homelab Central Control Plane: Engineered a custom Next.js 16 & React 19 command center providing unified fleet control—integrating dynamic service discovery, ESP32 plant IoT telemetry, Hermes AI agent operation queues, and token metering.

Distributed AI & Code Sandboxes: Deployed RabbitMQ message queuing, PegaProx multi-model gateway, and LangGraph DAGs with LangSmith tracing. Equipped with isolated LXC container sandboxes for safe AI code execution.

Closed-Loop Self-Healing: Integrated Prometheus, Loki, and Uptime Kuma with local LLM log analysis. Automatically triggers Ansible remediation playbooks to recover services in under 45 seconds without human intervention.

Resilient Storage Tiering: 1.5TB hot NVMe flash for VM roots and PostgreSQL, unified with a 5.4TB net MergerFS bulk NAS pool via hardware SATA passthrough.

Electronics & Custom PCB Design

Bridging the physical-digital frontier from schematic capture to surface-mount board fabrication. Designing multi-layer PCBs with KiCad for IoT telemetry, optocoupler-isolated relays, buck/LDO power stages, and high-speed I2C/SPI sensor buses. Hands-on SMD hot-air reflow soldering, oscilloscope signal debugging, and custom bare-metal C++/ESPHome firmware development.

Carpentry, Electrical & Plumbing

Extending systems engineering beyond the terminal into physical reality. Personally planned and executed the vast majority of my house work: engineered custom structural framing and architectural finish joinery; wired complete 120V/240V residential electrical subpanels with balanced circuit loads, EMT conduits, and smart telemetry; and routed a whole-house PEX-A homerun manifold plumbing network with water filtration and automated emergency shutoff solenoids.
