DevOps & Infrastructure

Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) playbooks for automated provisioning, policy enforcement, and audit management of Cisco Meraki networks.

// problem

Manual network configuration across distributed enterprise environments is error-prone, slow to audit, and hard to standardize.

// solution

Engineered automated Ansible playbooks leveraging the Cisco Meraki REST API to manage network SSIDs, firewall rules, and VLAN configurations as code.

// impact

Standardized network deployment workflows, reduced configuration drift, and streamlined infrastructure auditing.

A production-style self-hosted environment (homelab.elic) running on a Proxmox VE cluster with centralized identity management.

// problem

Cloud services are opaque. I wanted hands-on ownership of the full stack — hypervisor, containers, databases, identity — the way a real ops team runs it.

// solution

Built a Proxmox VE cluster hosting Nextcloud, Paperless-ngx, and Gitea via Docker Compose, backed by PostgreSQL and Redis, with Authentik providing centralized SSO/identity across every service.

// impact

A living lab for infrastructure skills: virtualization, container orchestration, backup strategy, and identity management — all self-maintained and continuously extended.
