I am educated as a data technician with speciality in infrastructure and have a passion for IT infrastructure, servers, networking, and virtualization. Experience with VMware vSphere, Cisco/UniFi networks, as well as Windows and Linux systems. As a person, I work with focus and determination, am a dedicated team player, with a desire to see things through to completion. In my spare time, I enjoy nature experiences, photography and experimenting with technologies in my homelab. I combine technical expertise with a friendly, calm demeanor and find great joy in solving IT challenges.

Creating my own website(s)

Creating this very website, and a second website with the purpose of having one as my "portfolio" website and a second as my photography Web Store.

Server environment focusing on redundancy/HA, with ADDS, DHCP, WDS/MDT, File servere, Clients, pfSense, Passbolt, Veeam, WDS, TrueNAS, etc.

Monitoring tool to track performance and availability of IT infrastructure. In this case, I implemented it in my homelab by installing Zabbix agents on the VMs. Previously, I have used it to monitor Cisco, ESXi hosts, and Ubiquiti equipment with SNMP.

Homelab

Zabbix

TrueNAS og Veeam

TrueNAS to simulate how a server environment could be set up in real life with iSCSI, as I don’t have a NAS or SAN myself. I’m also interested in having a NAS in the future for all my photos and files, so I simply wanted to check it out. And of course, Veeam for backups, as it's something I’ve had a positive experience using in the past.
