My homelab serves many functions - mostly hosting useful services at home and as a training ground for learning new technical skills. Each server is managed using Infrastructure and Configuration as Code via \textit{Terraform} and \textit{Ansible}. Mostly used to run container-based workloads. Recently I've been using my homelab to learn Kubernetes via K3s. Currently working on cleaning up the repositories so I can make them publicly available.

Project written in \textit{Python} that uses computer vision to analyse input video and output the most aesthetic frames based on photographic techniques. Using conventional image analysis techniques and a CNN trained on aesthetic photos using \textit{PyTorch}. As part of the project I followed an adapted \textit{Agile methodology} based on \textit{Scrum}. Using \textit{Terraform}, \textit{Cloud-init}, and \textit{GCP} to deploy GPU-powered resources for training my model.
