What I'm Doing Now

A public snapshot of my active technical focus, projects under development, and current engineering goals. What is a "Now" page?

Building

Active Engineering

Proxmox VE 5-Node Cluster: expanding bare-metal virtualization with automated PBS snapshot retention and ZFS dataset tuning.
Homelab Identity Layer: centralized Authentik SSO with wildcard Let’s Encrypt SSL (*.elic01.dev) across all containerized productivity tools.
Full-Stack Portfolio: maintaining a type-safe Next.js 16 platform with automated Cloudflare Pages edge deployments.

Technical Growth

Advanced Linux Systems: systemd service management, kernel cgroups, and non-root container namespaces.
Infrastructure Automation: Ansible playbooks for multi-site Cisco Meraki edge networking and declarative configuration.
Zero-Trust Architecture: network segmentation, internal Technitium DNS split-horizon, and reverse proxy forward-auth.

University & Projects

Completing final-year coursework and capstone requirements for B.Tech Honours in Information Technology at Harare Institute of Technology.
Documenting and publishing open-source engineering runbooks on GitHub.

Research & Labs

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) discipline: failure domains, observability, and proactive monitoring metrics.
Local AI Runners: experimenting with bare-metal Ollama models and workflow automation in homelab sandboxes.

Open to Roles

Actively open to full-time and graduate opportunities in Full-Stack Software Engineering, DevOps, and IT Systems Administration.
Ready to contribute to engineering teams building reliable web applications and scalable cloud/on-premise infrastructure.
