## About Me
|
||
|
||
> Hi — friends call me **Quinta**. I'm an Economics student at USI Lugano and a self-taught systems engineer who's been running homelab infrastructure since 2020.
|
||
>
|
||
> My setup spans bare-metal Proxmox clusters, DNS and domain management via Cloudflare (AAAA + Tunnels), Pangolin/Traefik reverse proxying with auto-TLS, and a full media & music automation pipeline.
|
||
>
|
||
> On the academic side I'm deepening my understanding of microeconomics, macroeconomics, game theory, and quantitative finance — finding more overlap with systems thinking than you'd expect.

## Homelab
|
||
|
||
Two-node setup built to enterprise patterns at personal scale. **Zero open ports** — all external access via Cloudflare Tunnels and Tailscale. Every service containerised, every entry-point proxied, every failure logged. The UNRAID box, **[Nargothrond](https://github.com/Quinta0/Nargothrond)**, is fully documented in its own repo — hardware, Docker stack, network segmentation, and traffic-flow diagrams.
