CELYRIAN
I run my own corner of the internet. Mail, DNS, git, identity, media, this site — all self-hosted on my own hardware.
01 — whoami
THE SHORT
VERSION
Self-taught systems engineer focused on operations and security boundaries — containerized deployments, hardened edges, identity and certificates, storage reliability.
Ship it, repeatably
GitOps deployment automation — the repo is the source of truth; disk drift gets reconciled away.
Least privilege
Zero-trust edges, scoped tokens, identity and certificates done properly.
Boring on purpose
Reliable infrastructure and boring fixes — storage that doesn't lose data, uptime you can forget.

THE RACK THAT
RUNS IT ALL
Three machines, forty-odd containers. Everything reaches the internet through a self-hosted zero-trust tunnel.
