Welcome! I'm Logan, a Senior Automations Engineer with over eight years of experience designing and deploying Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions. My work focuses on streamlining cloud and on-prem infrastructure through modular workflows, and automated pipelines.

In my personal projects, I'm constantly exploring ways to eliminate repetitive tasks through automation. Most recently, I've been contributing to the development of a Terraform provider for Proxmox. This includes building custom cloud-init images with Packer, preconfigured with Docker and essential monitoring services. Terraform then provisions and orchestrates the VM cluster, with tagging and metrics collection. Automated pipelines trigger predefined bundles of Docker services to be deployed to the VM cluster allowing me to manage my applications with ease.

Currently, I'm self-hosting several key services:
  • Nginx Proxy Manager for SSL and internal HTTPS routing
  • Komodo as my container orchestration UI
  • Grafana as my metrics dashboard
  • Prometheus as my metrics collection endpoint
  • OpenTelemetry as my on-node metrics collector
  • NextCloud for file synchronization
  • Home Assistant for centralized home automation
This lab serves as a testbed for new ideas, allowing me to prototype and refine production-grade tooling in a controlled environment.

World War II Facial Recognition Program. This program will utilize OpenCV and Caffe to parse video files into still images. 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
