Joseph Soper
Hi, I'm Joseph Soper
I build and operate production infrastructure. 20+ years on Linux daily. I recently designed and deployed BezaForge — a production private cloud built on Proxmox, Docker, 5-VLAN network segmentation, full observability stack, and GPU-accelerated LLM inference. Everything is automated, documented, and version-controlled.
Projects
BezaForge Infrastructure Platform
Production private cloud. Proxmox VE + Docker + 5-VLAN Omada SDN + Prometheus/Grafana/Loki + AMD RX 7900 XT GPU passthrough + Ollama LLM inference. 10+ services deployed and running.
ansible-arch
Idempotent Ansible playbook for full Arch Linux workstation provisioning — packages, AUR, dotfiles, services, system config. Single playbook targets multiple machines via host variable feature flags.
dotfiles
GNU Stow-managed dotfiles for a fully reproducible dev environment — zsh, starship, Neovim, kitty, zellij, tmux.
