## Experience
### BlackRoad OS | Founder & Network Lead | 2025Present
**VPN & Mesh Networking**
- WireGuard mesh VPN (10.8.0.x subnet) with DigitalOcean hub routing to all edge nodes
- Tailscale overlay network: 9 peers for management access across network boundaries
- RoadNet WiFi mesh: 5 access points on non-overlapping channels (1, 6, 11)
- Dedicated subnets: 10.10.{1-5}.0/24 per node with NAT through wlan0
**DNS Infrastructure**
- Pi-hole on Alice: fleet-wide ad blocking and DNS resolution
- PowerDNS on Lucidia (Docker): authoritative DNS for custom zones
- dnsmasq on Cecilia: custom DNS zones (.cece, .blackroad, .entity, .soul, .dream)
- Cloudflare DNS for 48+ public domains
**Reverse Proxy & Load Balancing**
- 48 Nginx sites routing traffic to fleet services
- 4 Cloudflare tunnels for zero-trust external access
- Per-service routing: API, web, git, AI inference endpoints
- SSL/TLS termination via Cloudflare
**Monitoring & Diagnostics**
- 106 active network connections monitored across fleet
- 867 processes tracked for network resource usage
- SSH-based fleet probing with health checks
- Daily KPI collection including connection counts and peer status
**Security**
- Zero-trust architecture via Cloudflare tunnels (no exposed ports)
- WireGuard encryption for all inter-node traffic
- UFW firewall on edge nodes (INPUT DROP policy)
- SSH key management across 50+ authorized keys
