Systems Administrator & Developer

Hi, I'm
Kaivalya Sagale.

I build and manage local server infrastructure, develop Android applications, and specialize in command-line network management.

About Me

My passion lies in backend infrastructure and technical problem solving. While balancing my academic curriculum—where I develop comprehensive study resources and presentations—I spend my free time engineering local network solutions.

I operate extensively within Linux environments, specifically Linux Mint, where I write Bash scripts for automation, manage systemd configurations, and deploy self-hosted services via Docker. Whether it's reverse-engineering audio hardware or setting up cross-play game servers, I thrive in the terminal.

Technical Expertise

Linux System Admin

Extensive experience with Linux Mint. I write custom Bash scripts for system automation, configure systemd parameters (like overriding lid-closure sleep states), and manage Docker container deployments for local networks.

Game Server Hosting

Built and configured local network Minecraft servers on Android via Termux. Utilized Purpur server software and successfully integrated GeyserMC and Floodgate to allow seamless Bedrock and Java cross-play.

Audio & IoT Networking

Backend configuration of smart audio devices. Connected via TCP port 17000 to reset hardware presets and flashed SoundTouch Hybrid firmware to integrate Bose speakers with a local Docker-based Music Assistant.

Software Development

Exploration into Android application development using Kotlin and Android Studio. Built custom UI applications utilizing WebView elements to display and interface with local web server addresses.

Leadership & Public Speaking

Founder Student & Moderator

New Horizon Model United Nations (NHMUN 2026)

Beyond the terminal, I step into public leadership roles. I am recognized as a Founder Student of NHMUN 2026 at New Horizon Scholars School. I participated in the opening ceremony lamp lighting and served as the diplomatic Moderator for the UN Women committee, managing parliamentary procedure and debate flow.
