Projects

Home Network

Managed on-premise cloud infrastructure, ensuring seamless backup to a RAID server across all devices. Hosted multiple services for family members, including cloud storage, VPN connections, and personal websites. Experimented with virtual networking, containerization, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and various operating systems..

Security System

Following the creation of my VLAN, I acquired an analog DVR along with cameras. I then ran the camera wiring through the attic to the exterior of my property and connected the DVR to the network. This setup enabled remote access to the security system via Wi-Fi. Additionally, I established a local DNS entry, allowing me to conveniently access the camera network by simply typing "cameras.arpa" into my browser.
