OPEN-SOURCE CONTRIBUTIONS

Contributed to several high-impact open-source projects, enhancing automation capabilities, improving network performance, and building scalable infrastructure tools.

Ansible Playbooks

Infrastructure Automation | Ansible, YAML
Developed a collection of modular Ansible playbooks to automate tasks like package upgrades, system hardening, service management, and Cloudflare tunnel setup across multiple Linux servers.

Docker Builder

CI/CD & Docker Image Development | Docker, GitHub Actions
Built and published lightweight Docker images for CLI tools (e.g., MTProxy, Speedtest) using Alpine Linux. Automated multi-arch builds and image deployment to DockerHub and GitHub Container Registry.

Today I Learned (TIL)

Continuous Learning & Documentation | Markdown, Git
Maintained a public repository of daily technical learnings across topics like Linux, networking, Bash scripting, Docker, and systems programming. Demonstrates continuous improvement and breadth of knowledge.

OSL: Ookla Server Latency

Network Performance Testing | Python, requests
Developed a latency testing tool that ranks nearby Ookla Speedtest servers using HTTP-based response time measurements. Enables quick selection of the lowest-latency servers without relying on ICMP or ping.

TG MTProxy Server

Networking & System Services | MTProxy, Docker
Provisioned a Telegram MTProxy server with optional Docker deployment for secure, anonymized Telegram access.

Ubuntu Mirror Speed Tester

Performance Optimization | Python, requests
Created a benchmarking script to identify the fastest Ubuntu mirrors by measuring download speed. Improved package update performance by dynamically selecting the best mirror.

PERSONAL PROJECTS

Telegram WHOIS Bot

Networking Tools & Bot Development | Python, Docker, Telegram API
Built a Telegram bot that performs WHOIS lookups for IPs and hostnames, returning detailed network info including ASN and location. Includes /trace and /ping commands for live diagnostics, formatted cleanly for Telegram.

Discord Net Bot

Infrastructure Monitoring | Python, Docker, Discord API
Created a Discord bot that monitors IP reachability. Pings configured IP addresses every 5 minutes and alerts a Discord channel if any become unreachable. Designed for simple deployment via Fly.io or Docker.
