Work

Real projects I've built and run myself.

Infrastructure

Six-node k3s cluster from rescued hardware

I bought ten Nebra helium hotspots. They arrived almost two years late, on different hardware from what I'd paid for, and the four I deployed all failed. Support never responded. Instead of letting them become e-waste, I stripped them down, gave spare parts to fellow IT students, and built a six-node Kubernetes (k3s) cluster from the RockPi 4B+ boards. It's monitored, hardened and documented, and it's still running.
