Interests

Technology

I’m passionate about all things tech, with a particular focus on home automation and deploying systems like Home Assistant on Raspberry Pi to manage smart devices.

I’m also a huge fan of K3s on ARM64, using my Raspberry Pi Cluster to explore DevOps, industrial IoT devices, edge computing, and remote applications. K3s offers a cost-effective solution for businesses that want to harness cutting-edge technology without breaking the bank—something I believe passionate, knowledgeable staff can deliver.

Photography

Combining my love for technology with my creative side, I’m a purist when it comes to photography—capturing shots straight out of the camera (SOOC) without relying on post-processing software like Photoshop. You can check out my work on

Walking

When I need a break from the screen, there’s nothing I enjoy more than a long walk—it's my way of unwinding and recharging.
