Harry Axford - Portfolio

A personal portfolio, CV, and blog website built with Next.js. This project showcases my journey from IT Technician to Linux Sysadmin and Cloud Engineer, alongside my technical projects and homelab documentation.

Key Features

📄 Digital CV

An interactive, responsive curriculum vitae detailing my professional experience with:

  • Microsoft Intune & Active Directory
  • Microsoft 365 Administration
  • Educational IT Support

🔍 SearXNG Meta-Search Proxy

A privacy-focused search interface that demonstrates backend resilience:

  • Smart Proxy Architecture: Uses Next.js API routes (app/api/search) to act as a proxy between the client and public SearXNG instances.
  • High Availability: Implements a failover strategy that automatically rotates through a list of public instances if one fails or times out.
  • Serverless Compatible: Designed to run on Vercel without requiring a Docker container for the engine itself.

✍️ Technical Blog

A Markdown-based blogging platform for sharing insights on:

  • Homelab Infrastructure (Proxmox, Unraid, UniFi)
  • Linux Customization (Neovim, Arch Linux)
  • Career Roadmaps
  • Built with MDX, remark-gfm, and Tailwind Typography.
