I thrive in the terminal, live in Neovim, and genuinely enjoy exploring the boundaries of what can be automated, optimized, and understood.</p> <p>Right now, I&rsquo;m walking the path toward DevOps. I&rsquo;m actively studying cloud-native infrastructure, Kubernetes, security hardening, and the tools that enable modern infrastructure to be scalable, resilient, and declarative. Much of my learning happens hands-on in my homelab, where I experiment with everything from container orchestration to infrastructure-as-code. YAML has unexpectedly become one of my favorite formats — structured, readable, and beautifully strict.</p> https://simeonivanov.org/posts/the-complete-guide-to-ssh-hardening/ Fri, 14 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://simeonivanov.org/posts/the-complete-guide-to-ssh-hardening/ A practical guide to SSH - understanding the basics, setting up key authentication, and securing your remote connections https://simeonivanov.org/posts/arch-install-encrypt-guide/ Mon, 05 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://simeonivanov.org/posts/arch-install-encrypt-guide/ A complete guide to installing Arch Linux with LUKS encryption, LVM, and systemd-boot
