DreadLess — Software & Infrastructure Engineer

About Me

Software & Infrastructure Engineer — working from home

Servers

What I Run

Debian and Ubuntu Server underpin everything I build. On top of that sits Proxmox VE — HA clusters, ZFS pools, PBS backups — and Fedora on the workstation. Bare metal or VM, the goal is the same: predictable, reproducible infrastructure that doesn't page me at 3am.

Containers

What I Ship

Production-ready Docker Compose stacks for self-hosted services, LXC for lightweight isolation, KVM when full virtualization is called for. Every stack is built to be torn down and rebuilt from source control without a second thought.

Automation

What I Script

Bash and Python for the daily grind, Ansible for repeatable deployments, Rust and Go when performance matters. CI/CD pipelines turn "it works on my node" into deployments I can trust across the whole fleet.

Security

What I Harden

Firewall rules, strict SSH policy, and custom monitoring hooks are non-negotiable. Grounded in OWASP and MITRE ATT&CK, I audit before I trust — vulnerability scanning, log analysis, and Linux hardening on every node I touch.

Tech Stack & Tools

What I know and what I'm learning

Before this — started coding with Java (CRUD apps, JWT auth, WEB clones) at Odysseus64, then moved into pentesting before landing in DevOps.
