When I'm not tuning Oracle WebLogic servers or hardening LIMS security, I’m usually building things just for the fun of it. Here are a few projects I’m currently tinkering with:
🕹️ Retro Game Logic
Exploring low-level C++ and logic gates to understand the architecture of 8-bit and 16-bit systems.
🐧 Home Lab Mastery
Maintaining a personal Linux-based environment to test out new containerization strategies and security configurations.
