👋 Hello, I'm Julian Elliott

I'm currently pursuing my MSc in Data Analytics at the University of Huddersfield, driven by a deep curiosity for turning both structured and unstructured data into meaningful, actionable insights. Whether it's optimising a process or illuminating a hidden trend, I thrive on the power of information used well.

Beyond the classroom, I spend a lot of time in my personal homelab—my digital sandbox for learning, experimenting, and building. There, I dive deep into topics like virtualisation, containerisation, and automating just about anything that stands still long enough. My goal? A fully self-hosted ecosystem where learning never stops.

🔧 Tech I'm Exploring Right Now

• 🔁 Integrating n8n workflows into data pipelines
• 🐳 Containerisation with Docker & Kubernetes
• 🖥️ Virtualisation via Proxmox and VMware
• 🌐 Network and firewall design for secure home infrastructure
• 🏡 Creative IoT and home automation hacks

🌱 What's Got Me Curious

• 📊 Data Democratisation – bringing powerful insights to non-technical users
• 🧠 Using Large Language Models (LLMs) in business intelligence
• 🚚 Real-time analytics in logistics optimisation

🤝 Let’s Connect

I'm always up for a conversation—whether it’s about data analytics, homelabs, automation, or a wild new tech idea. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or drop me a message.
