Dineth Perera

Computer Networking Student | Network Infrastructure & Systems

Based in New Zealand and studying at the Manukau Institute of Technology, I build and operate real-world networking and infrastructure systems through my Homelab. I learn by deploying, troubleshooting, and improving working services, with detailed technical documentation available through my project repositories.

Homelab Ecosystem

One headless host running 8+ containers. Internal services resolve to clean .internal hostnames through Caddy and Pi-hole-backed local DNS.
