Homelab & self-hosting

The thing humming in the background of every other page. My strengths are the systems around the code — infrastructure, architecture, automation, and CI/CD — and the homelab is where I keep those skills sharp on hardware I actually run.

Infrastructure

Virtualization: Proxmox VE — VMs and LXC across the host
Containers: Docker + Compose for everything self-hosted
Foundations: Linux (20 years of it) · self-hosting · automation everywhere it'll fit

Self-hosted services

Media: Saltbox running Sonarr / Radarr / Prowlarr — the full *arr stack
Smart home: Home Assistant for automations that make the house quietly smarter
Glanceable: AWTRIX on a Ulanzi TC001 — live dashboards on a pixel clock

How it's built

Everything ships the same way I build sites: by directing AI agents, version-controlled in Git, automated through CI/CD, and deployed to the edge on Cloudflare Pages. The lab is the proving ground; the public projects are what comes out of it.
