# Who is Mad?

I’m Mad Mirrajabi. There are many things that interest me; Human, Dog, and other types of Psychology, Philosophy, Gardening and growing a bit of food, Crafting and DYI, Product thinking, Climbing rocks, Hiking, Being a better partner and a dog-father, Engineering everything, from buildings, mechanical bits to what I do daily at work, which is Software Engineering and System Design. I just very much enjoy learning.

Here I write about my work and my other passions.

I run my own 3 node HA Kubernetes cluster at home to learn more about Kubernetes, Linux, Networking, Storage, Security, and all the other things that come with it.
The “rack” is built from a wooden pallet I decided to recycle! Below are the specs of my cluster:

• An old Acer laptop, Intel 4770HQ - i7 , 16GB Memory, 250GB SSD + 500GB SSD + an extra 1TB HDD which is used as NFS
• 3x HP Elitedesk 800 Gen 2, Intel 6700T- i7, 32GB, 240GB SSD + 3TB HDD (Ceph is running on these)
• Raspberry PI 3 b+, 1GB RAM, 16GB micro-SD (running Pi-hole) (A display that shows CPU/RAM/Disk usage of the PI, just to add more flashiness. no real value)
• NETGEAR ProSAFE GS108E Managed Switch - 8 Ports

I love to talk about this and my other projects, so if you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

# What can Mad do?

I can help you with many things. For example:

• Scaling up your application to serve millions of users
• Leading your development teams to technical and product development success
• Setting up a Kubernetes cluster or upgrading your setup to meet production grade requirements and teaching you many things along the way
• Migration to the cloud (AWS)
• Waterproof your basement
• Building a new product from scratch if you have a business idea but don’t know the technical side
• Migrating your monolith to microservices or the other way around! Both are very valid.
• Helping your company sprinkle some GenAI on your products so some manager somewhere can check that juicy GenAI achievement box
• Bring it on!

Unlike the photos of me presenting slides on this page, I like actually DOING things and leading and educating people instead of only talking about doing things! So instead of giving you 200 slides on how to do something, I can give you a one hour deep dive and then just sit down and build things together with you.
