About Me

Hi! I am Pedro and I am an IT professional since 2021. This site is going to serve to share some thoughts about my tech profesional jorney, homelab setups, training, my outdoors adventures and some things in between.

I currently work as an IT Support in a medium size bussiness located in Portugal. My current role involves managing the company IT infrastructure and supporting the internal users.

Areas of Interest

My special areas of interest are systems performance and administration, especially linux systems, networking, monitoring and cybersecurity.

I am an advoctate of free and Open Source Software and i believe that self host is the way to go. On my Homelab i run my personal firewall (OpnSense), my NAS and Backup Solution (OpenMediaVault), and a monitoring solution (zabbix). My homelab journey is only on the beggining but i will try to document everything on this site.

In my spare time I enjoy doing sports, cooking, cycling, hiking and bodybuilding. From time-to-time I will also throw in a trail run to mix things up a bit.

About this Website

What i will put here is the public section of my personal Zettelkasten. I have many notes which are stored as markdown files on my NAS. I use obsidian, wich is a markdon note taking application and whenever I’m studying a topic by reading or watching videos I keep notes about what I learn and store them in my Zettelkasten. When I contemplate a particular subject or prepare to write an article, I delve into my archive of notes and interconnect them. Frequently, this process of linking sparks additional connections and associations, inspiring fresh ideas for further exploration or writing topics. My Zettelkasten serves as a catalyst for introspection, education, and creative inspiration.
