IT Professional | Cybersecurity Specialist | Homesteader | IoT Innovator
I'm an IT professional specializing in cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity, with a unique passion for applying technology to sustainable living practices.
By day, I architect secure cloud solutions and protect digital infrastructure. By evening and weekend, I'm in the garden, building greenhouses, tending beehives, and automating homestead operations with IoT devices.
This intersection of technology and agriculture drives my work—whether it's implementing zero-trust security models or designing passive house structures, I believe in building systems that are efficient, resilient, and sustainable.
Exploring strategies for designing fault-tolerant systems across AWS, Azure, and GCP with practical examples from production environments.
Practical techniques for reducing Kubernetes costs without sacrificing performance, including autoscaling, resource requests, and cluster optimization.
A comprehensive guide to deploying zero trust security models in organizations with both on-premises and cloud infrastructure.
How I apply enterprise security principles to protect my home IoT network, from greenhouse sensors to automated irrigation systems.
My journey into beekeeping, from installing the first hive to harvesting honey, including mistakes made and wisdom gained along the way.
Step-by-step guide to constructing an efficient composting system that turns kitchen scraps and yard waste into black gold for your garden.
