// 01 — HOMELAB & TECH STACK

The stack I run — at home and at work.

Everything below runs in the homelab, at A. Enggaard or on MÆLK's servers. Click a tag for details.

01

Security & Infrastructure

Networking and operations built to fail gracefully — segmented, logged and documented.

02

Code & Scripting

Automation before repetition. Scripts that are small, readable and version-controlled.

03

Hardware & Automation

From switchboard to dashboard: physical installation meets software automation.

// 02 — GITHUB SHOWCASE & PROJECTS

Code that runs in production — even at 3 AM.

Forks and tools behind MÆLK and the homelab. Star counts are fetched from GitHub at build time.

// 03 — BACKGROUND

From switchboard to terminal.

Electrician → IT technologist → IT security. The hands-on hardware and electrical background is not a footnote — it is the foundation under the enterprise IT.

  1. Bachelor continuation of the IT Technologist programme, focused on network security, system hardening, SIEM and secure operations.

    • Network and infrastructure security, firewalls and segmentation
    • Log analysis, detection and incident response
    • Governance, risk and documentation of security architecture
    SecurityNetworkingSIEM
  2. Networking, system administration, IT support and building operations in a contractor company — where the electrical background meets enterprise IT.

    • Operations and rollout of networks and clients at offices and construction sites
    • User support, hardware and onboarding
    • Building operations: installations, documentation and troubleshooting
    NetworkingSysadminSupportBuilding operations
  3. Networking, server operations, embedded and IoT. The bridge from physical installation to system design.

    • Routing, switching and server administration (Linux/Windows)
    • Embedded/IoT projects with MicroPython
    • Project work with documentation and operations as requirements
    NetworkingLinuxIoT
  4. Trained electrician with a focus on installations and switchboards. The foundation of the approach: installed, documented and designed to fail safely.

    • High-voltage and low-voltage installations
    • Switchboard work, troubleshooting and documentation
    • Customer contact and work on construction sites
    ElectricalInstallationsHardware

The core

Electrical & installation

Physical layer, switchboards, documentation

Network & operations

UniFi, VLAN, Proxmox, support

Security

Hardening, logging, fail-safe design

Still thinks like an electrician: if it is not installed, documented and designed to fail without taking the whole house down with it, it is not finished.
