Software Engineering Student @ University of Ulm
Self-Hosting Enthusiast | Homelab Architect | Developer

• Energy Monitoring: Developing SmartMeter, a local-first monitoring stack integrated into my homelab.
• Infrastructure: Managing a private TrueNAS environment and various self-hosted services via Docker.
• Academic: Studying Software Engineering at the University of Ulm.
• Automation: Exploring GitHub Actions and CI/CD pipelines to automate my deployment workflows.

I treat my home infrastructure like a production environment. Here's what's currently running on my TrueNAS & Docker nodes:

• 🔐 Identity & Security: SSO via Authentik, Network-wide blocking with Pi-hole, and secure tunneling via Cloudflare.
• ☁️ Cloud & Productivity: Nextcloud AIO for data, Immich for photo management, and Paperless-ngx for a digital office.
• 📊 Monitoring: Full observability with Grafana, Loki, and Uptime Kuma.
• 🎬 Media Automation: Fully automated pipeline for content management and distribution.
• 🌐 Reverse Proxy: Nginx Proxy Manager handling SSL and traffic routing.
