Eric Black

Infrastructure & Disaster Recovery Architect | Lead Solutions Architect & Operations Team Lead

I design and operate disaster recovery and private-cloud environments, then build software to make the work easier to size, verify, troubleshoot, and recover. My background spans Veeam, VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Proxmox VE, Kubernetes/OpenShift, and multi-tenant recovery services.

The projects here are built around real operator problems: unclear sizing assumptions, missing recovery evidence, unsafe cleanup, and too many disconnected tools.

Featured engineering projects

Backup, recovery & infrastructure

  • Veeam Designer · v5.0.0 · Open the calculator
    Web-first Veeam architecture and sizing across virtualization platforms, repositories, retention, proxies, WAN, replication/CDP, and costs.

  • Veeam XFS Backup-Copy Cleanup · v0.5.0 · Download & operator guide
    Local Linux/XFS utility for reviewing expired Veeam backup-copy chains, with dry-run reports, metadata and immutability checks, and deletion auditing. Native v13 repository acceptance is still environment-specific; review the safety limits before a destructive run.

  • K8 Visualizer · v1.10.5 · Releases
    Windows/Linux desktop toolkit for Kubernetes disaster recovery assessments, restore-readiness findings, offline bundle review, and comparison over time.

Applications & operations tooling

  • DC Coms · v1.0.1 GA · Release
    Self-hosted Matrix communications with encrypted chat, operator services, backup/recovery procedures, and repeatable RHEL-family deployment.

  • MCP Home
    Read-only MCP operations tools for Windows homelabs: Docker, Plex, service health, storage, files, and repository visibility.

  • BlackFlag Audio · Private beta · Public website source
    Local-first Windows music library and player focused on controlled scans, duplicate review, and preview-first metadata changes. The application source is private.

  • DR DOOM
    A DOOM-inspired browser game built around disaster recovery concepts and an RTO clock. Sometimes the lab needs a sense of humor.

What I work on

Recovery: DRaaS, backup and recovery architecture, cyber recovery, immutable storage, recovery testing, and operational runbooks.

Platforms: VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Proxmox VE, Kubernetes, OpenShift, and private/hybrid cloud.

Development: Python, Go, PowerShell, TypeScript, React, automation, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations.

Writing & field guides

At AnyStackArchitect, I write about infrastructure design, disaster recovery, Veeam, virtualization, Kubernetes, migrations, and the operational details that turn up after a design leaves the whiteboard. Technical articles and field guides are free to read.

How I build

  • Start with a real operational problem and make assumptions visible.
  • Prefer read-only inspection, dry runs, and explicit confirmation before destructive changes.
  • Test recovery behavior and failure paths, not just the happy path.
  • Ship usable documentation and reproducible checks alongside the software.
