I administer a 1,700 device national POS program across 1,100+ seasonal locations and support 500+ users across 90+ retail locations, then go home and maintain a 4-node Proxmox cluster with its own SIEM, single sign-on, and monitoring. Systems, networking, and security operations, held to the same standard whether it is production or my own rack.

WAN / internet: active flow inbound through firewall
Lab VLAN path: isolated homelab network segment
Cluster fabric: all 4 Proxmox nodes as equal peers
Persistent mount: NFSv3 backup path to Synology, always active
Standard ethernet: ordinary wired connections
Planned run: cabled but not yet active

Real commands, real cluster.
A snapshot of the cluster doing its job. Every command here is one I actually run, and every service behind it is deployed, monitored, and maintained, not theoretical.
A+, Network+, and Security+, a B.S. in Information Technology, a 1,700 device program under active management, and a production homelab that runs around the clock. The capability is here. I am looking for the team that will use it.
