Technical Competencies

Under the Hood

My homelab is not a resume line item. It is a working enterprise-grade environment that gives me peer-level technical credibility in conversations with CIOs, VPs of Engineering, and solution architects.

Infrastructure and Virtualization
  • Proxmox VE hypervisor managing multiple VMs and LXC containers
  • Unraid NAS for networked storage, redundancy, and media services
  • Network segmentation and VLAN configuration across physical and virtual interfaces
  • Linux system administration: Ubuntu and Debian, package management, systemd, cron
  • Firewall rules, DNS configuration, and inter-VLAN routing
AI and Automation
  • Self-hosted LLM inference pipelines using Ollama with Mistral and LLaMA model families
  • OpenAI Whisper ASR for local speech-to-text transcription pipelines
  • AI agent orchestration via OpenClaw with custom skills, webhook pipelines, and tool integrations
  • Automated job alert parsing using Gmail API and Google Cloud Pub/Sub
  • Telegram bot integration for real-time notifications and agent interaction
Security and Monitoring
  • Frigate NVR with OpenVINO hardware-accelerated object detection on Intel iGPU
  • Multi-camera integration across RTSP and ONVIF protocols
  • Zone-based detection rules, event filtering, and alert routing
  • Access control policy design and network segmentation for IoT device isolation
  • Security evaluation methodology applicable to enterprise vendor security reviews
Development and Scripting
  • Python: PDF processing, OCR via pytesseract, image manipulation pipelines
  • Bash scripting for system automation, scheduled tasks, and deployment workflows
  • Git version control, branch management, and repository workflows
  • REST API integration and webhook design across multiple platforms
  • Prompt engineering and instruction design for LLM-based workflows

When a prospect's architect raises a technical objection, I do not deflect to a sales engineer. I engage, ask the right questions, and earn credibility that accelerates the deal.
