Welcome traveller, to my little corner of cyberspace.

I’m Vicknesh Suppramaniam, a Solution Architect based in Malaysia, and this is where I document my work, experiments, and the occasional epic dice-fueled gaming session. Whether it’s an obscure networking fix, a solo wargame campaign, or a note-to-self that somehow became a full guide, it lands here.

If you want to get in touch—discuss tech, tabletop, or anything in between—send a raven (or just email me) at contact@vicknesh.info.

Summary

I’m a systems and security architect with over 20 years of experience turning complex problems into working systems. I specialize in designing secure, scalable architectures and building automation into infrastructure from day one. Whether it’s interconnecting cloud-native services or hardening self-hosted stacks, I approach every challenge with a mix of precision and curiosity.

Skills Overview

• System Architecture
  Building distributed, fault-tolerant infrastructure with multi-cloud and hybrid setups.

• Security Engineering
  Rolling out security frameworks, TLS infrastructure, VPNs, and open-source controls using repeatable playbooks and zero-trust principles.

• Integration & Interoperability
  Making diverse systems talk—whether it’s via APIs, message queues, or custom adapters.

• Automation & Scripting
  Turning bash scripts and Ansible roles into everyday problem solvers. Infrastructure as code, always.

• Problem Solving
  Breaking down complex, interdependent systems into manageable, testable chunks.

• Collaboration & Communication
  Leading teams with clarity, setting expectations early, and delivering working solutions on time.

• Continuous Learning
  Always testing new ideas, tools, and protocols—even if it means breaking things (and fixing them better).

Interests

• Solo RPGs & Tabletop Wargaming
  Rolling dice, writing stories, painting miniatures, and running entire campaigns solo because why not?

• Networking & Cybersecurity
  Tuning WireGuard setups, building SSH CA chains, and following open standards like a religion.

• 3D Printing & Hobby Tech
  Custom terrain, tools, and one-off parts that solve real or imagined problems.
