Tiny tools, APIs, and UI demos.
My homelab serves as a private research and development environment where I can safely deploy, break, and rebuild enterprise-grade software. I utilize Docker to containerize and manage a diverse suite of self-hosted services, ensuring that my personal data and tools remain highly available and easily portable. This passion extends into network architecture, where I implement VLANs to maintain a secure environment through segmentation, all while running a lean, Linux-based ecosystem.
