Ryan Starr
Looking for System Administrator roles
Hello
My name is Ryan Starr. I have gained experience working within an MSP as a Technical Analyst and through a range of homelab projects.
I have configured a reverse proxy and VPN to access all of my services remotely from any location. These services include Nextcloud for photo management, Uptime-Kuma for monitoring service uptime and Wordpress for hosting my website (this static page is hosted through Netlify), plus many more. These are all run using docker containers and I am in the process of moving them all over to a Kubernetes cluster hosted on Oracle Cloud.
