About

I’m Sven — a network designer with 8+ years in fixed access networks at Dutch ISPs. I specialize in CPE platforms, TR-069, and Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP). By night, I run a homelab where I test the things I can’t experiment with at work.

Based in the Netherlands.

What I write about

This blog is where I document what I build and learn. You’ll find practical guides on:

• Networking — Traefik, MikroTik, VyOS, UniFi, Tailscale
• Self-hosting — Docker, monitoring stacks
• Automation — Ansible, GitHub Actions, GitOps
• Infrastructure — Cloudflare, DNS, SSL, CI/CD

My homelab is where I test ideas before they become guides. If something works well there, it usually ends up here.
