Systems administration
A headless Linux server I set up, run and maintain myself.
- Arch Linux on a Dell PowerEdge T330
- Docker and Compose for 20+ services
- KVM and libvirt for isolated workloads
- Hardware RAID controller (PERC H730)
Adam Schussel
Computer science student building, running and securing real infrastructure.
I operate a self-hosted environment of 20+ containerized services on my own server, with segmented networks, private administrative access, monitoring and on-demand GPU compute. I'm finishing a B.S. in Computer Science at Chico State and looking for work in IT, systems and cybersecurity.

What I work on
Each area links to where it shows up in the lab, so you can check the work instead of taking my word for it.
Network and security
Designing for least exposure rather than trusting a single perimeter.
- Public ingress through one TLS reverse proxy
- Admin interfaces only on a private overlay
- Segmented container networks, internal-only databases
- Strict CSP and security headers on this site
Operations
Knowing what the system is doing and being able to recover it.
- Prometheus, Grafana, Node Exporter, cAdvisor
- Storage designed around RAID and off-host backups
- Workflow automation with n8n
- Local AI inference on a separate GPU node
Projects
Selected infrastructure, security and web work.
Self-Hosted Infrastructure Lab
A production-inspired environment on a Dell PowerEdge T330: 20+ containerized services behind a TLS reverse proxy, private admin access over an encrypted overlay, isolated container networks, monitoring, KVM virtualization and on-demand GPU compute for local AI.

This website, rebuilt to practice the basics properly: no third-party scripts, a strict Content-Security-Policy, security headers, a security.txt disclosure contact, and a non-root, read-only nginx container behind the reverse proxy.

A clothing website I designed, built and host myself, combining a distinct visual identity with my self-hosted deployment experience.
