{Personal Homelab}
{%
Adapted an old PC into a \textbf{Linux Server} for 40+ applications. Serves as a valuable platform for refining skills, learning the latest technologies, while also hosting other personal projects.
%
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Arch Linux} as the base OS with \textbf{MergerFS} and \textbf{SnapRAID} as a storage and backup solution.
\item \textbf{Docker}, \textbf{Docker Compose}, and \textbf{Portainer} as a container engine and management system.
\item \textbf{Cloudflare Argo Tunnel}, \textbf{Nginx}, and \textbf{Let's Encrypt} for hosting, proxying, and SSL certificate automation.
\item \textbf{Grafana}, \textbf{InfluxDB}, and \textbf{Telegraf} for constant system monitoring, stats visualization, and email alerts.
\item \textbf{DevOps Stack} including a self-hosted \textbf{GitLab} instance and \textbf{VSCode server}.
\item Public and private \textbf{Wireguard} instances and a \textbf{Tor} relay for remote management and privacy.
\item Full-stack \textbf{media management server} including indexing, file downloading, metadata editing, and a personal streaming service.

{Trailblazer}
{%
Third Year University Project. Collaborated with a research group from Lancaster University to develop an \textbf{OS performance evaluation platform}. Built using Go and Python. A paper was later submitted to the International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems \textbf{(ASPLOS) 2024}.
%
\begin{itemize}
\item Designed experiments to benchmark performance of network-based applications such as \textbf{Apache} and \textbf{Caddy}.
\item Implemented multiple-architecture support using the \textbf{QEMU} virtual machine emulator, focusing on \textbf{x86-64} and \textbf{RISC-V}.
\item Conducted testing and analysis to derive a memory-optimized \textbf{Linux} kernel configuration.
\item Performed maintenance and bug fixes on the \textbf{Go} codebase and reduced experiment runtime using \textbf{RAM-based filesystems}.
