- Cloud architecture: Migrated Journalytic from Firebase/Firestore to a Go + Postgres client/server model with Redis-backed SSE for reactive updates — thousands of users, zero data loss.

- Observability: Structured logging across all services, integrated alerting via Cloud Monitoring, Sentry, and Grafana dashboards over GitHub + GCP datasources.
- Homelab: Multi-node Proxmox cluster, Dell R730xd NAS (TrueNAS), OPNsense (VLANs, IDS/IPS, DoT), Caddy reverse proxy w/ Cloudflare WAF, Home Assistant, monitored with VictoriaMetrics + Grafana + Loki.
