The most ambitious personal project — a fully production-grade home infrastructure running on a Raspberry Pi, managed with Puppet for configuration enforcement, and monitored with a complete SIEM stack for threat detection. The environment mirrors the architecture patterns used in enterprise security deployments, providing a hands-on platform for testing detection rules, practising incident response workflows, and experimenting with infrastructure-as-code patterns at a real operational scale.
Everything is version-controlled and reproducible.
What I learned
Production Puppet at scale, SIEM pipeline design, detection engineering, and the discipline required to treat personal infrastructure with the same rigour as client environments.
