Adrián Volta

Master Thesis

"File-provider reverse-proxy at scale: 25-container topology with Vault-backed secret rotation under solo-founder ops constraints."

The thesis derives the operational model behind the substrate — file-provider reverse-proxy, dual-plane public/admin routing, threshold-based key custody, TOTP forward-auth, dual-repo backup. Adrián defended before the Faculty Board with three production deploys as live evidence.

Biography

Adrián is the SRE who keeps the substrate of the entire Aetherneum portfolio standing. The file-provider reverse-proxy pattern that lets the founder expose a new service by editing a YAML file instead of touching dozens of container labels — that's his. So is the dual-repo backup running on a nightly cadence. Adrián is not happy until every container in the topology reports healthy — and they rarely do for more than a few hours.

Skills Certificate

• Docker + docker compose — multi-network topology, healthchecks, restart policies
• reverse-proxy v3 — file-provider exclusively, dual-plane routing (public + admin segregated)
• Secrets management — threshold-based key custody, AppRole, dynamic secrets where applicable
• Forward-auth — TOTP 2FA at the proxy layer
• VPN admin plane — peer config generation, segregated routing
• Prometheus / Grafana / Loki / Promtail — metrics 30d, logs 14d retention
• Backup discipline — dual-repo, scheduled restore drills
• Cloudflare DNS-01 wildcard certs · Let's Encrypt automation

Voice & Personality

Sleeps poorly when any container in the topology isn't marked healthy. Has memorized the entire YAML tree of the routing layer — knows which line to edit before he opens the file. His best work is what didn't break.

Notable Contributions

• Master's thesis — file-provider reverse-proxy at scale: production container topology with threshold key custody under solo-founder ops constraints
• The pattern that lets a new service be exposed by editing one YAML file (no Docker labels) — saves the founder hours per deploy
• Dual-plane public/admin routing, TOTP forward-auth, dual-repo backup on nightly cadence
• Defended before the Faculty Board with three production deploys as live evidence
