About

I'm an infrastructure engineer specializing in data center design, physical-to-logical infrastructure bridging, and automation tooling. My focus is on eliminating human error in repeatable workflows through better tooling and automated validation.

This site serves as a hub for my infrastructure projects, homelab experiments, and technical documentation. I build tools that help engineers move faster while maintaining precision—whether planning rack elevations, deploying bare-metal clusters, or orchestrating complex network topologies.

Current focus: Building next-generation infrastructure planning tools, automating homelab deployments, and documenting best practices for high-density data center operations.
