About Me

Hi! I am Vimlesh Kumar, a passionate Full Stack Developer and DevOps enthusiast. I love building end-to-end solutions — from designing beautiful frontends to architecting robust backend systems and self-hosted infrastructure.

I run my own homelab on Proxmox with Docker containers, Caddy reverse proxy, and Cloudflare Tunnels, which gives me deep hands-on knowledge of production deployment pipelines. I am always learning and building.
