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.

Docker • NGINX • Proxmox • High Availability

Load-Balanced Portfolio Hosting

Hosted this site with NGINX load balancing, containerized backends, a Proxmox standby node, automated synchronization, hardening, and tested failover.

Remote Access • Tailscale

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.

Monitoring • Grafana • Prometheus

Homelab Monitoring Stack

Set up monitoring for servers and lab devices using Grafana, Prometheus, and exporters to visualize system health and performance.

Proxmox • OMV • NFS • Virtualization

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.

Pi-hole • DNSCrypt • DoH

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.

Bash • Docker • Linux • Reporting

Automated Homelab Maintenance

Created scheduled update and validation workflows for Docker stacks and Proxmox containers with logging, health checks, and Discord reports.
