About Me
Ridwan Sharif
IT Professional
I'm an IT professional currently working as an NVIDIA Server Repair Technician at SMS InfoComm Corporation, Grapevine TX. I perform root-cause analysis, component-level repairs, and multi-cycle performance validation on production GPU servers.
I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Science & Engineering and love building real infrastructure skills through my personal home lab — running Pi-hole, Unbound DNS, Docker, Plex, and VPN on Linux.
I'm growing toward network engineering and IT infrastructure roles with a strong foundation in TCP/IP, Active Directory, and Linux systems.

Projects
Home Network Lab
Self-Hosted Linux Infrastructure
A self-hosted Linux server stack on physical hardware — network-wide ad-blocking, private recursive DNS, a self-hosted VPN, media, file sync, and monitoring — built for hands-on networking/security skills and CCNA / Network+ prep.
Second Brain
Multi-Agent Knowledge Pipeline
A multi-agent personal-knowledge pipeline running on my homelab. It captures notes, transcripts, and links, processes them in the background, and surfaces weekly insights and suggested next actions.
Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitor
Final Year Capstone Project
Built ESP32 firmware to collect heart rate, SpO₂, and PPG sensor data in real time. Developed a backend API with MongoDB for live data logging and hosted an AI model via Flask, connecting the IoT device to a web dashboard.
Portfolio Website
Personal Web Project
Designed and built this personal portfolio to showcase projects, experience, and skills. Built with Next.js 16, Tailwind CSS, and deployed on Vercel with a custom domain.
