About

Who am i? I am Victor Skinderviken, a 24 year old IT professional. I have my background in E-business and Information Technology, and have been working in IT operations for a little over a year now. I have experience with both Windows and Linux environments, and have a strong focus on security and uptime. I also run a small homelab on the side, where I experiment with different technologies and setups. I also distro hop between different Linux distributions, and have a strong interest in the Linux ecosystem.

Ubuntu homelab

← → arrow keys, swipe, or click the dots

Homelab status: Two Raspberry Pi 5 units currently host vicx.no on Ubuntu Server with MicroK8s. A ThinkCentre M910q is on its way and will run Proxmox as the new home server — this site (skinderviken.it) runs on Vercel for now, with a move to self-hosting planned once the ThinkCentre is up and running.

vicx.no (NGINX)

My first self-hosted website, deployed using NGINX on a Raspberry Pi. This was a single Raspberry Pi 5 setup running Debian. Later replaced by the dual Raspberry Pi 5 setup running Ubuntu Server and MicroK8s.

Education

Kristiania

2022–2025 · E-business - Information Technology

When studying E-business and Information Technology at Kristiania, I gained a strong foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of the field. We learned how to debug, style, and deploy web applications using modern technologies. I learned different coding languages and frameworks, such as JavaScript, Java, Python, MySQL, HTML, and CSS. As well as fundamental concepts in database management and network administration.
