I'm currently focused on deepening my expertise in:

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) - Taking my Terraform, OpenTofu, and Ansible skills to the next level
• DevOps Practices - Streamlining CI/CD pipelines and automating everything possible
• Container Orchestration - Expanding beyond basic Docker to more advanced patterns
• Python Development - Improving my coding skills for automation and tooling

A work-in-progress fork of an abandoned MCP server project for Proxmox integration. My primary goals:

• 🐳 Dockerize the MCP for greater portability and usability
• 🔒 Improve security measures throughout the codebase
• ✨ Enhance user experience with modern interface improvements
• 🔄 Actively maintain and modernize features for the community

(This marks my first open source contribution and public project!)

• 🏠 Running two separate Proxmox clusters at home:
  • 💼 Homelab services cluster (30+ services)
  • 🔬 HA development environment (30+ services)
• 🚁 Building and flying custom FPV drones
• 🛠️ My dev environment is built on Infrastructure as Code
• 🤖 Constantly exploring new AI applications
