About Me

Staying curious

While others were playing video games, I spent my teens diving into code with QuickBasic. That early spark turned into a 25-year career at the intersection of Finance and IT.

My journey started with the heavy lifting—administering IBM Domino and OS/2—and evolved into a deep dive across Windows, Linux, and web technologies. I’ve never lost that 'insatiable curiosity.' Over the years, I’ve moved from maintaining systems to building and integrating them—whether it’s CRM, CMS, or complex MDM environments. I don't just manage software; I'm driven by the challenge of making it work smarter.

Technical Solution

Hybrid-Cloud Automation Architecture

I design hybrid-cloud workflows that combine the security of self-hosted infrastructure with the reliability of modern SaaS interfaces.

Core Infrastructure: The heart of this system—including the n8n engine, a PostgreSQL database, and a local Llama 3 LLM—runs entirely in Docker containers on my own private hardware. For performance reasons, I decided to switch the LLM to Google's Gemini 2.5 flash model temporarily until I upgrade my local hardware.

External Integration: To ensure high availability and seamless communication, I integrate industry-standard APIs. A Cloudflare Tunnel provides a secure gateway, while Slack and Mailgun handle real-time alerting and outbound communication.
