Hi, I’m Sharfuddin Shawon!
I’m a Computer Science undergrad with a passion for software engineering, artificial intelligence, self-hosting and homelabs. I love designing scalable systems, optimizing performance, and exploring innovative solutions in big data, networking, and automation.
💻 Programming & Development
I specialize in full stack software development, focusing on backend engineering, AI-driven workflows, and distributed systems. Some of the technologies I frequently work with:
- Programming Languages: Python, Java, JavaScript, C++
- Frameworks & Tools: Flask, FastAPI, Node.js, Express, Pandas, PySpark, TensorFlow
- Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis
- Cloud & DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, Nginx Proxy Manager, Apache Hadoop, CI/CD Pipelines
I also enjoy contributing to open-source projects, writing efficient algorithms, and optimizing systems for high performance.

🏠 Homelab & Self-Hosting
I manage a hybrid-cloud homelab with six power-efficient servers across multiple locations, enabling me to self-host services, experiment with new tech, and optimize network infrastructure. My homelab, aptly named Game of Nodes, features:
- Virtualized & Containerized Environments (Proxmox, Docker Swarm, Kubernetes)
- Encrypted Virtual Overlay Networks for Secure Communication
- Cloud & On-Prem Hybrid Infrastructure
- Monitoring & Automation (Prometheus, Grafana, Ansible)
This setup allows me to run critical services efficiently while keeping costs low.
🚀 Current Projects & Interests
- Software Engineering Internship (Summer 2025) – Seeking opportunities to contribute and grow.
- Machine Learning on Big Data – Working on healthcare & fintech datasets for academic research.
