2026 Portfolio Refresh
Building toward network engineering with a foundation in Linux, security, homelabs, and embedded systems.
I am Muhammad Hassan, a WGU Network Engineering & Security student with hands-on experience across networking, Linux administration, Docker, Raspberry Pi projects, Cisco labs, and technical troubleshooting. My background also includes RF and embedded systems work, which gives me a strong hardware-aware perspective for connected systems and infrastructure.

Featured Projects
Built to show hands-on skills, not just coursework.
Load-Balanced Portfolio Hosting
Hosted this site with NGINX load balancing, containerized backends, a Proxmox standby node, automated synchronization, hardening, and tested failover.
Tailscale Funnel Web Publishing
Used Tailscale Serve and Funnel to securely publish a self-hosted web service and manage access across devices and lab systems.
Homelab Monitoring Stack
Set up monitoring for servers and lab devices using Grafana, Prometheus, and exporters to visualize system health and performance.
Proxmox Virtualization & NAS Migration
Separated storage and application roles across virtual machines and containers, migrating NAS services into OMV and media workloads into a dedicated LXC.
Privacy-Focused DNS Architecture
Built a layered DNS workflow with filtering, redundant resolvers, encrypted upstream queries, and a private DNS-over-HTTPS endpoint for remote clients.
Automated Homelab Maintenance
Created scheduled update and validation workflows for Docker stacks and Proxmox containers with logging, health checks, and Discord reports.
