IaC DevSecOps & Network Engineer

Download Resume

Welcome! My name is Logan and this is my website where I post my most relevant work experience and display my technical knowledge. I speicalize in Infrastrucuter as Code (IaC) and automations, primarily using Terraform on AWS and Azure.

My personal projects typically consist of solving automation problems. We are often faced with small repetitive tasks that could otherwise be handed off to a machine. Most recently, I am implementing and contributing to the development of a Proxmox provider for Terraform. This project consists of creating a cloud-init image using Packer. This image is bootstrapped using the latest deployment of docker swarm and other related packages. From which Terraform deploys the cluster of vms, delegating one as the manager node and two or more additional worker nodes. Implementing tagging, custom applications can then be deployed to the swarm and allowed to scale as demand grows.

Some of the applications I am hosting are NextCloud, for managing my file synchronization, HomeAssistant for centralized home automation. Nginx Proxy Manager to maintain and publish my SSL certificates and encrypt the traffic within my network. I also use Portainer as my orchestration engine with a plan to shift to Rancher once I have ported my applications from docker swarm to Kubernetes.

It will then take the still images and search for faces and crop the images to a ROI (region of interest) for the model to match. The model will take the know faces and names and attempt to match the still images to the names, creating a database of names and time stamps. This will allow the user to know where in each video each person appears
