Metalearn

Metalearn is an ecosystem I designed to explore a simple idea:

What if learning platforms were not closed silos, but digital commons?

This project was born from frustration around data centralization, vendor lock-in and opaque educational systems.

Vision

Metalearn is built on three core principles:

  • Data sovereignty
  • Open-source software
  • Controlled infrastructure

The goal is not speed, but resilience and system understanding.

What I built

For Metalearn, I designed and implemented:

  • An architecture based on open-source building blocks (Nextcloud, Matrix, Workadventure)
  • Unified SSO via Keycloak (OpenID Connect)
  • Custom APIs in PHP and Node.js
  • GitLab CI/CD pipelines
  • Multi-stage Docker images
  • Kubernetes deployments using Helm

I personally manage the full infrastructure and automation.

Technical topics explored

  • Reproducible deployments
  • GitOps and advanced CI/CD
  • Cluster resilience
  • Observability
  • Heterogeneous multi-node setups

Metalearn is not a product.
It is an experimental environment.

A place to learn differently — and to build cleanly.
