KAROL URBAN

ABOUT ME

Hi — I’m Karol. I started my career in technical support and quickly discovered that I enjoyed building and maintaining systems more than fixing single issues. My journey began with on-prem homelab projects, where I experimented with virtualization, networking, and self-hosted services. Over time, this evolved into interest in cloud infrastructure, automation, and DevOps practices.

Today, I run a homelab environment (Proxmox, Docker, DNS, DHCP and various self-hosted tools) to prototype real-world setups and explore new technologies.

I enjoy using Terraform and CI/CD pipelines to automate infrastructure management, automate deployments, and continuously improve my skills. I am curenlty focused on learning container orchestration with Kubernetes to enchance my ability to deploy and manage scalable applications.
