Some of the things I've built and maintain
Home Network Security Infrastructure
Designed and implemented a secure home network using Pi-hole DNS server for ad-blocking and malicious traffic filtering with Unbound as a recursive DNS resolver for enhanced privacy. Configured network security policies and access controls to monitor and filter traffic.
Monitoring & Anomaly Detection
Deployed a full monitoring stack including Prometheus, Grafana, and Netdata with AI anomaly detection. Implemented tshark packet capture analysis with automated cron jobs pushing metrics to Prometheus Pushgateway for real-time network visibility.
Automated Security Reporting
Built automated security reporting workflows via n8n and Telegram bot integration. Self-hosted n8n exposed publicly via Cloudflare tunnel, powering automated monitoring alerts, scheduled Pi-hole reports, and webhook-driven integrations.
