Network Engineer moving into DevOps / Infrastructure Automation
I run production networks on Cisco and MikroTik, and I treat infrastructure as code — provisioning, configuring, and monitoring my own multi-service home lab with Terraform, Ansible, and Docker. I bring an enterprise networking foundation (BGP, OSPF, VLAN design, VPN) to the DevOps stack, so I understand the layer most automation engineers treat as a black box.
| Project | What it shows |
|---|---|
| homelab-infrastructure | Self-hosted lab as code: Terraform (KVM/libvirt) + Ansible (hardening, Samba AD, mail, Nginx, ZeroTier) + Docker Compose |
| OTUS-Network-Architect | VxLAN/EVPN CLOS fabric: 3 spines / 4 leaves, eBGP underlay, EVPN route reflectors, Multipod on Cisco NX-OS |
| OTUS-Network-Engineer | Multi-site WAN: BGP inter-AS, multi-area OSPF, DMVPN/IPSec overlays, HSRP/EtherChannel on Cisco IOS / EVE-NG |
| maks.top | 360+ technical articles (Linux, AWS, networking) built with Hugo, deployed via GitHub Actions |
