Projects
Azure Resume
A cloud-native version of my resume built on Azure. The website is hosted using Azure Static Web Apps and features a dynamic visitor counter powered by Azure Functions. The infrastructure for both the frontend and backend was provisioned using Terraform, with a CI/CD pipeline implemented via GitHub Actions for automated deployments.
Tech Stack: Terraform, Azure Static Web Apps, Azure Functions (Python), Azure Cosmos DB, Blob Storage, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, GitHub Actions, Linux/Bash
2025Devops Network Utilities
A containerized suite of network tools (subnet calculator, ping, traceroute, DNS, and port scanning) deployed on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Each microservice is Docker-built—Python (Flask) for the backend services and a React frontend—and pushed to Azure Container Registry via a GitHub Actions CI pipeline. Terraform provisions the AKS cluster, and an Nginx Ingress routes traffic to the respective containerized services.
Tech Stack: Terraform, Docker, AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service), Azure Container Registry, Python (Flask), React, Nginx Ingress, GitHub Actions, Linux/Bash
2025Homelab
A continuously evolving on-prem and cloud-integrated environment where I experiment with networking, system administration, and container orchestration. Currently, it combines a Raspberry Pi (running Pi-hole), a local Windows Server VM (configured with OpenSSH), and an Azure VM for hybrid connectivity. I use packet captures (tcpdump, Wireshark) to troubleshoot and refine network flows, while Pi-hole provides DNS ad-blocking across the LAN. Bridged networking in VMware ensures the Windows VM shares the same subnet as the Pi, simulating a realistic home-lab environment. The long-term vision is to expand into multi-cloud (AWS, OpenShift) and Kubernetes for full GitOps-driven deployments.
Tech Stack: Raspberry Pi (Ubuntu), Pi-hole, Windows Server 2022, Azure VM, tcpdump, Wireshark, Linux/Bash, PowerShell
