Building reliable systems with a hands-on tech mindset.

I’m Marko — an IT specialist focused on Windows Server, Microsoft 365, Proxmox, Docker, monitoring, smart home automation and self-hosted infrastructure.

About me

A technical profile with a practical edge — systems, networks, automation and the kind of details that make infrastructure dependable.

I like technology that is understandable, documented and reliable. My daily world includes Windows Server, Active Directory, Exchange/Microsoft 365, Group Policy, networking, virtualization and monitoring.

Outside of work I run and improve my homelab: Proxmox, Docker, Home Assistant, Sophos, Grafana/Loki, Zabbix, Wazuh, Authentik, Cloudflare Tunnel and other self-hosted services. If something can be automated, monitored or cleaned up, I’m probably already thinking about it.

I also enjoy practical 3D printing, smart home projects, small tools and building things that solve real problems instead of just looking nice in a dashboard.

What I focus on

The common thread is simple: make systems cleaner, safer, easier to understand and easier to operate.

Infrastructure & networks

Windows Server, AD, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, Sophos Firewall, VLANs, VPNs and the boring-but-important foundations.

Homelab & self-hosting

Proxmox, Docker, reverse proxies, Authentik, monitoring, backup concepts and services that run on hardware I control.

Automation & monitoring

Scripts, dashboards, alerting, logs and workflows that reduce manual work and make problems visible before they become incidents.

Projects

Practical tools from my homelab and 3D printing workflow — built to solve real problems and stay maintainable.

featured project

Printbuddy

Printbuddy is a modern, self-hosted dashboard for managing a 3D printer fleet. It brings printer status, active jobs, material details, alerts and operational views into one clean interface.

The goal is simple: make multi-printer monitoring easier, reduce context switching and give makers a better overview of what is printing, idle or needs attention.
