Real hardware.
Real workloads.
Real responsibility.
ProStaking is an ongoing business, not a home-lab exercise. I own and operate diverse, revenue-generating infrastructure across multiple racks.
Build it, then keep it running.
My work spans bare-metal systems, XCP-ng virtualization, iSCSI storage on a SAN, blockchain node operations, monitoring and alerting. It combines the physical realities of hardware with the software and operational discipline needed to run services.
I also build staking tools for Solana and Monad, create free training for developers entering Web3, and contribute operational findings and improvements back to open source.
Performance work with receipts.

AF_XDP and zero-copy work connects NIC behavior, Linux networking and validator performance. The public repository brings together experiments, configurations and documentation, with enough context to distinguish a benchmark from a general claim.

Testing Overclock’s Solana client on eight CPU cores: captured datasets, correctness checks and controlled Go-versus-ASM comparisons. The published write-up includes methodology and limitations rather than treating a single result as universal.

Our knowledgebase connects Cloudflare AI Search to an OpenAI Dot through a Cloudflare Worker and Google OAuth. It makes operational knowledge available to an assistant through an authenticated integration. I’ve also created RAG workflows using n8n, OpenAI embeddings and Qdrant.
