Working daily with real hardware and smart home systems
Engineer in smart home, electronics and infrastructure
I build systems that work in real conditions: from TV mainboards and server builds
to Home Assistant, Node-RED and my own AI assistants. No cloud lock-in, with internet
and power redundancy, monitoring and automation.
Ready for new engineering challenges and projects

What I do
My core focus areas: smart home & IoT, server/network infrastructure, and electronics repair & development.
Area
Smart Home & IoT
Designing automation systems without cloud dependency:
Home Assistant, Node-RED, Zigbee2MQTT, ESPHome, Matter.
Scenarios, sensors, notifications and device integration.
Home Assistant
MQTT
Zigbee / ESP32
Area
Infrastructure & Networks
Server builds, virtualization, VPN bridges, internet and power redundancy,
monitoring and alerts. Systems that don’t fail because of a single cable.

Electronics & Repair
From diagnostics to building my own controllers and devices.
Electronics repair
TV / monitor / PC / PSU boards diagnostics
Server assembly & maintenance
SMD / BGA soldering
eMMC / NAND / USB / SPI-Flash firmware
Oscilloscope, multimeters, PSU
Controllers, sensors, backlight modules
I combine three worlds: smart home, infrastructure and electronics repair.
This allows me not only to "connect a device", but to build a full cycle:
from choosing and installing the hardware — to configuring servers, writing integrations
and adding AI assistants that help to operate this infrastructure.
Experience
