Robert Melcher
aka merox
My name is Robert Melcher. I'm an HPC System Administrator at Forvia. I am the former Founder of Dolphost. Previously, I worked as a Cyber Security Engineer at Atos IT Solutions, and as a System Administrator at Netex Romania.
I write about technologies I experiment with in my homelab as a passion, or use at work as a professional. I specialize in Linux-based technologies, networking, and security, with expertise in server management, virtualization solutions, and network implementation.
I studied Computer Science at West University of Timișoara (2016–2018) and hold a CCNA certification from Cisco (2019–2020).
The name merox comes from me (Melcher) + ro (Robert) = mero + x. The "x" can be interpreted in different ways, but it also comes from my old username mer0x39, where 0x39 = 57 in hexadecimal, with 5 representing my birth day and 7 representing the month (July).
