Michael Lambertino


Enterprise IT at a global law firm, and the architect and operator of a self-built home datacenter — a Proxmox cluster, a TrueNAS/ZFS array, and a zero-inbound network on Cloudflare. I run production infrastructure, keep the attack surface near zero, and build the tools that run on it — like Squelch.

The rack

self-run, in production
Compute

Proxmox VE

Virtualization cluster I run and maintain — the VMs and containers behind everything here.

Storage

TrueNAS · ZFS

ZFS array for bulk storage, backups and snapshots, with restores I actually test.

Network

Cloudflare + AMPRNet

DNS and edge on Cloudflare; ham services on 44-net. Outbound-only tunnels — nothing port-forwarded.

Security

Zero inbound

The home network stays private — no inbound ports open, minimal attack surface by design.

Projects

built & operated

Squelch

live · GPL

Real-time AllStar traffic monitor — who's keyed up, with audio and callsign ID. Runs on my own node and for the TARA network.

self-hosted

Roll Call

private

Equipment checkout & nightly reconciliation for a 100+ person crew. Next.js, libSQL, Argon2id. Staff-only — not publicly reachable.

This site — a static page on Cloudflare Pages. No backend, no database, nothing inbound to my network.
