Hey, I’m Suraj — a DevOps engineer based in Gurgaon, India. When I’m not writing pipelines or debugging deployments, I’m tinkering with self-hosted infrastructure spread across a Raspberry Pi, an old laptop, and a Lenovo ThinkCentre — all tucked away in my apartment.

This homelab

What started as a simple NAS on a Raspberry Pi turned into a 3-node, 12-service stack — ad blocking, surveillance, media streaming, bookmark archiving, power monitoring, and more. This site documents the hardware, running services, and the occasional writeup when something interesting breaks or gets built.
