Austin Porter

Recent Computer Science graduate with a focus on systems, infrastructure, and backend development. I enjoy working on practical projects that involve Linux systems, networking, and cloud technologies.

About Me

I'm interested in roles involving software engineering, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, and networking. I like building things that solve real problems and learning new technologies by getting hands-on with them.

Currently working on expanding my homelab setup with Proxmox, pfSense, and various self-hosted services to develop practical skills in infrastructure and deployment.

Technical Skills

Languages: Python, Java, C#/.NET, SQL, C++, Rust, Shell scripting

Technologies & Tools:

  • Spring Boot, .NET frameworks
  • Networking (switches, routers, firewalls, wireless APs)
  • VMs and containers (Docker, a little Kubernetes, Packer for image builds)
  • Cloud deployments (chiefly AWS)
  • Ansible, Terraform infrastructure mgmt
  • Linux system administration
  • YOLO/computer vision
  • Edge Hardware (Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, various microcontrollers, PCB design)

Featured Projects

Real-time person detection using YOLO11 on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super. Implemented in C#/.NET 8 with automated email alerts. Demonstrates edge computing and computer vision applications.

Infrastructure as Code project that provisions Kubernetes cluster VMs on Proxmox using Terraform, then generates Ansible inventory for configuration management.

Web application deployed to Heroku. Built with fastAPI in python. Check it out here

Machine learning project that predicts NVIDIA stock closing prices. Built with Python and Jupyter notebooks, implements time series prediction using historical market data.

Shell script for installing NVIDIA proprietary drivers on fresh Debian 13 installations. Actively maintained and used by others in the community. Currently pinned to 580 drivers due to stability issues with newer driver releases.

Designed and assembled a custom PCB for GNSS applications. Not my primary focus area, but I think this demonstrates hardware design fundamentals and breadth of my technical interests.

Current interests

  • Kubernetes cluster management and high availability configurations
  • AWS cloud services and architecture
  • Advanced networking with pfSense and enterprise routing
  • Self-hosting and infrastructure automation
