Designed and automated a secure, end-to-end ecosystem integrating smart home and remote cloud management. Leveraged Home Assistant for seamless device automation and employed Docker with Portainer for efficient container management and orchestration. Utilized Git for robust version control and Traefik as a reverse proxy to enable secure, streamlined application routing.

Established persistent VS Code Remote Tunnels for cloud-based development and facilitated secure web access to internal tools and self-hosted sites using Tailscale and Cloudflare Tunnels. Implemented FTP storage for cost-effective file sharing across the local network. Enhanced overall system security and collaboration using Passbolt for password management, Nextcloud for private cloud synchronization, Pyhole for DNS ad-blocking, alongside a rigorous custom DNS and web server setup.

Key Achievements:

Mastered zero-configuration networking and deployed Docker images for scalable containerized environments.
Automated container orchestration using Docker Compose and Portainer, streamlining deployment and management.
Enabled encrypted, remote, and admin-free access to internal and external resources through Traefik-powered reverse proxying and secure tunneling.
Applied industry-standard DevOps and cybersecurity best practices across containerized, managed, and self-hosted systems.
Enhanced privacy and organizational collaboration with advanced DNS filtering (Pyhole), secure password management (Passbolt), and private cloud file synchronization (Nextcloud).

Attendance Marking System Using Face Recognition

Oct 2025 - Aug 2027

The Face Recognition Attendance Marking System is an innovative and efficient solution designed to streamline the process of tracking and recording attendance in various settings. Leveraging the latest advancements in computer vision and artificial intelligence, this system offers a reliable, contactless, and highly accurate method for marking attendance.
