I create small, focused infrastructure tools and homelab prototypes that solve real problems. My approach: build minimal, break intentionally, document thoroughly, and ship working (not perfect).

My specialty:

• 🔐 Security tooling with transparency (no black boxes)
• 🏠 Homelab infrastructure on budget hardware
• 📝 Over-documentation (intentionally verbose READMEs)
• 🔍 Postmortems that show failures, not just wins

Philosophy: If I can't audit it at 3 AM, I don't run it as root.

Quick Stats:

focus: Linux, Raspberry Pi, SSH
style: Break first, document after
stack: Linux, Python, Raspberry Pi
goal: Learn by doing (and failing)

🎯 Why I Built This:

I wanted SSH security I could actually audit at 3 AM — no black boxes, no "trust me bro" configs. Sentinel-SSH watches your journald logs, detects brute-force patterns, and auto-blocks attackers.

✨ Key Features:

• ⚡ Real-time journald log parsing
• 🧠 Smart brute-force detection (sliding windows)
• 🛡️ Temporary UFW blocks (won't lock you out)
• 📊 Prometheus metrics built-in
• 📝 Over-documented (150+ line README)

🔧 Stack: Python • systemd • journald • UFW • Prometheus

Homelab Infrastructure 🔧

• CTF Challenges: Building and solving Capture The Flag challenges to sharpen my skills.
• Linux Automation: Automating homelab setups with Ansible and Bash.
• SSH Experiments: Exploring secure remote access and tunneling techniques.
