I have completed several personal projects that demonstrate my proficiency in various technologies and my ability to solve complex problems creatively.
I have built and maintain a containerised home lab on a Raspberry Pi running Linux, leveraging Docker and Portainer for streamlined deployment and management. The environment consists of multiple Docker containers organised using Docker Compose stacks, with appropriate volume mappings for data persistence. I’ve configured static IP addressing, port forwarding, and dynamic DNS, and implemented reverse proxies for secure and efficient access. Additionally, I’ve integrated TailScale to enable secure remote connectivity to the home network.I also built a PHP-based contact form that stores submissions in a MySQL database managed with phpMyAdmin, and I developed an admin dashboard to display and manage the form entries
I have built and maintaining a travel website showing the flags and images of places/countries I have travelled to. This is hosted on CloudFlare Pages and connected to my GitHub repository.
I'm currently using Proxmox—an open-source virtualisation platform—on an HP laptop that's serving as my server. It allows me to easily run and manage virtual machines and containers for testing Docker containers, VMs, and other projects in a non-production environment, all without any licensing fees.
