Infrastructure & Virtualization
Server hardware, virtualization, storage, containers, and supporting services.
01
Microsoft lab infrastructure
As a Technical Lab Installer working at Microsoft under Biblioso, I install and maintain server platforms and rack infrastructure in lab data center environments.
- Hardware bring-up and POST diagnostics
- UEFI, BIOS, firmware, BMC, and IPMI configuration
- Server blades, routers, switches, power shelves, and power whips
- Component-level fault isolation and replacement
- Work tracking and SLA delivery through Azure DevOps
02
Virtualization and storage
My homelab uses two Proxmox hosts for virtual machines and storage-backed workloads. I use ZFS, VM snapshots, backup strategies, PCI passthrough, and HA testing to practice deployment and recovery procedures.
- Multi-node Proxmox VE environment
- TrueNAS virtual machines and NFS-backed services
- ZFS storage and backup planning
- VM provisioning and recovery testing
03
Container platform
A dedicated Linux VM runs the primary Docker workload. Services cover ingress, identity, monitoring, media, application hosting, and operational tooling. Traefik handles routing and certificates, while Authentik provides centralized identity.
