Oak Creek, WI — Available for work
Hi, I'm Alan Peter. I build infrastructure.
Information Science & Technology student who diagnoses tough technical problems, builds for the web, and self-hosts production infrastructure on Linux.
I work at the intersection of IT support,
web development, and
self-managed Linux infrastructure —
turning tricky technical problems into systems that quietly keep running.
I'm an Information Science & Technology student at the University of
Wisconsin–Milwaukee, based in Oak Creek, WI. I got my start diagnosing hardware,
software, connectivity, and account issues in fast-paced support roles — translating
tough problems into clear answers for people of every skill level.
Today I self-host production services on a Linux VPS — Nginx, SSL/TLS, firewall and
SSH hardening, and a CI/CD pipeline that builds and deploys on every push. I lean on
AI coding tools to move faster, and keep a practical, security-minded approach in
everything I ship.
A production Linux VPS hosting personal and web applications — secured with Nginx, SSL/TLS, firewall rules, and SSH hardening, and deployed by an automated CI/CD pipeline that builds, tests, and ships on every push.
A fast, accessible, responsive personal portfolio built with Astro and Tailwind CSS, showcasing my technical projects and skills and deployed to self-managed infrastructure.
