Homelab Rack

A self-hosted infrastructure rack running a mix of bare-metal and virtualized services. Includes a managed PDU, APC UPS with network management card, and a dedicated switch. Services span media, networking, monitoring, and home automation.

Currently expanding storage capacity and migrating workloads to Proxmox VMs for better isolation and snapshotting.

PDU Monitoring System

Python-based monitoring daemon for a smart rack PDU. Polls outlet-level power draw via SNMP, stores time-series data, and pushes alerts when thresholds are exceeded. Integrates with Home Assistant for dashboard visibility.

Next milestone: per-outlet cost tracking and automated load-shedding on UPS low-battery events.

Whole-Home Power Monitor

Real-time home energy monitoring using CT clamp sensors on the main panel. Data flows into Home Assistant, gets stored in InfluxDB, and is visualized in Grafana. Goal is per-circuit visibility and anomaly detection for HVAC and major appliances.

Custom PCB Design

Occasional PCB projects for custom automation hardware — sensor breakout boards, power conditioning circuits, and enclosure-mounted control panels. Designed in KiCad, fabricated through JLCPCB.

Current board: a compact DIN-rail mount relay driver with isolated I/O for Home Assistant integration.

ATE Test Development — Texas Instruments

Developing and executing test plans for leading-edge silicon at Texas Instruments. Responsibilities include test hardware design and bring-up, ATE program development, DFT correlation, and driving root cause analysis across multiple process nodes.
