Portrait of Bryan Gee

Hi, I'm Bryan Gee.

I build reliable, automated infrastructure — turning manual toil into self-healing systems across cloud, virtualization, and DevOps pipelines.

about me

Automation-first, reliability-obsessed.

I've always enjoyed working with technology — pushing myself to learn the latest tools and using them to improve workflows, efficiency, and reliability. Whether it's wiring up CI/CD, taming a fleet of virtual machines, or designing self-healing monitoring, I gravitate toward the work that removes manual effort and makes systems dependable by default.

I have a deep passion for learning and continuous improvement, and I'm always looking for the next problem worth automating — increasingly with AI and LLM tooling woven into my day-to-day work, from agentic task execution to writing infrastructure code and accelerating troubleshooting.

// key highlights

  • Automated deployments with Ansible across virtual infrastructure.
  • Built monitoring, self-healing, and alerting through multiple tooling stacks.
  • Managed DNS and related network services.
  • Administered both Windows- and Linux-based servers.
  • Developed fully automated CI/CD environments.
  • Use AI/LLM tooling (Claude, Codex, Gemini) for agentic automation, IaC, and faster troubleshooting.
  • Optimized network & server performance using best practices.

Ongoing
Personal Project
3-node Proxmox HA cluster · 20+ services · networking · backup/DR · SecOps
  • Architected and operate a 3-node Proxmox VE cluster (plus a standalone hypervisor and dedicated backup server) running 20+ containerized services, with high availability via Proxmox HA + Corosync quorum and live workload migration.
  • Designed default-deny network segmentation on a UniFi zone-based firewall — a 4-tier trust model (trusted / IoT / kids / guest) with intrusion prevention (IPS), honeypots, and VLAN isolation; validated the external attack surface via port/TLS scanning.
  • Built a highly-available reverse-proxy edge (Caddy + keepalived VRRP failover) fronting ~28 services with automated Let's Encrypt TLS (DNS-01 wildcard, least-privilege API tokens), HSTS/security headers, and CrowdSec intrusion prevention actively blocking live traffic.
  • Engineered a 3-2-1 backup/DR strategy: Proxmox Backup Server (dedup, scheduled GC/prune/verify) with encrypted offsite cloud replication, on RAID6.
  • Run redundant DNS (AdGuard Home with keepalived HA + config sync, DNSSEC validation, split-horizon) and manage 5 Cloudflare zones (DNSSEC, SPF/DMARC, Full-Strict TLS).
  • Automate patching and configuration management with Ansible (orchestrated via Semaphore) and scheduled maintenance jobs.
  • Operate full observability + SecOps: Uptime Kuma, Wazuh SIEM (30+ agents), and CrowdSec; completed a comprehensive security audit and hardening pass (MFA, key-only SSH, secrets hygiene, scoped/rotated credentials, least privilege).
  • Currently building an AIOps self-healing pipeline — alert → n8n orchestration → LLM agent for autonomous incident triage, with a security-first design (read-only investigation tier + human-gated remediation).
