John De Monteverde
I'm a DevOps Engineer focused on building reliable infrastructure, automating workflows, and solving complex engineering problems.
But my work doesn't stop at DevOps. I also build applications, connect systems, and explore whatever technologies catch my interest. :D
AI has become part of that exploration and how I work every day. I use it to cut through repetitive tasks, move faster, and spend more time solving problems that matter.
Projects
Platform · 2026
Homelab33
Old computers turned into Linux servers and then into a Kubernetes homelab. It hosts my own applications and the portfolio site you're looking at.

Keeping an eye on Homelab33
I built two dashboards to check my home servers from anywhere. They show whether the machines are healthy and which applications are using their resources, giving me a clear place to start when something goes wrong.
