ARKCLOUDHQ HOME LAB
High-performance home lab with 5 petabytes of active and archival storage, engineered like an enterprise platform. Redundant storage, automated backups, Hyper-V virtualization, NAS services, workflow automation, and AI/ML workloads all running in one cohesive environment.
JAMAURICE HOLT
Senior AWS Database Administrator & Full-Stack Developer specializing in cloud database solutions, AI development, and enterprise architecture. Deep experience in MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Aurora, and large-scale data platforms.
I work with organizations to modernize infrastructure, crush performance issues, and build automation that actually saves time and money — not just looks good on a slide deck.

HOME LAB INFRASTRUCTURE
Enterprise-style architecture running on custom hardware, Hyper-V, dedicated storage nodes, and real monitoring — built to behave like a production platform.
Network Storage
High-performance NAS and JBOD storage backing up media, lab data, and archives with RAID protection, snapshots, and off-box backup strategies.
Workflow Automation
n8n orchestrates data flows, notifications, and API integrations — from backups to lab jobs to cloud sync — keeping repetitive work off your plate.
Security-Driven Design
Segmented networks, SSL/TLS everywhere, reverse proxies, hardened access, and “minimum necessary” principles modeled on zero-trust thinking.
Database Sandboxes
Dedicated PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server environments for query tuning, migration rehearsals, failure testing, and optimization experiments.
AI / LLM Workloads
Local LLMs and AI tools exposed via OpenWebUI and custom frameworks for agents, automation, and experimental cognitive systems.
Built for 24/7
Designed around uptime: monitored services, UPS support, graceful shutdown/recovery, and a layout tuned for fast diagnostics and fixes.
FEATURED PROJECTS
Recent work across database optimization, cloud architecture, automation, and AI.
Database Migration Framework
Zero-downtime migration approach for PostgreSQL and MySQL, with automated validation, rollback paths, and performance regression checks.
