About

I build integrated security and automation setups using IP-based CCTV, Home Assistant, Node-RED, and Shelly devices. My focus is dependable architectures, neat dashboards, and clear operational logic that families and teams actually enjoy using.

Highlights: camera planning and networking, MQTT messaging, Telegram/Push notifications, presence & sensor fusion, energy-aware automations, and on-prem privacy.

  • IP CCTV design & NVR/VMS
  • Home Assistant blueprints
  • Node-RED flows & dashboards
  • MQTT + Webhooks integrations
  • Shelly/ESPHome automations
  • Networking, VLANs & PoE
  • Linux, Docker, Raspberry Pi
  • Notification bots (Telegram)
