About Me & My Hobbies

I’m a technology enthusiast based in Tilburg, with a passion for building and optimizing complex systems. My professional interest lies heavily in networking and virtual infrastructure, driving me to create a robust home lab environment.

When I step away from the keyboard, my hobbies merge the digital with the physical:

⚙️
**3D Printing & CNC:** Bringing digital designs to life using my Prusa i3 MK2.5 and Workbee CNC router. I run Octoprint and CNC-JS for control.
🎮
**Gaming & Hosting:** Running game servers for friends on my dedicated AMP panel, currently hosting titles like Satisfactory, Wreckfest, Foundry and BeamMP.
💾
**Home Lab & Virtualization:** Managing a three-node Proxmox cluster, which hosts everything from Home Assistant to Jellyfin.

High-Availability Proxmox Cluster

Successfully configured three GMKtec M5 mini-PCs into a production-ready HA cluster for zero-downtime service hosting. Includes shared storage configuration.

Used: Proxmox, Ceph/Shared Storage
Status: Stable, Production Ready

In Progress

Network Segmentation & VLAN Hardening

Implementing strict firewall rules between the five VLAN groups (Servers, HA, Main, Guest, Network Equipment) using the ER605 and managed switches.

Used: TP-Link Omada Controller, Firewall Rules, VLAN tagging
Goal: Complete isolation and security hardening
