Curiosity.
Built into
working systems.

I connect the dots between infrastructure, software, and everyday problems. Then I build, troubleshoot, and keep learning.

Ideas you can use

Websites, browser workspaces, and practical automation.

Learning that sticks

Reproduce a problem. Test the fix. Write down what works.

Selected technical projects

From the lab.
Into the real world.

Hands-on work, built with AI-assisted workflows.
Real interfaces from the projects behind the learning.

01 / Infrastructure

A home lab with
room to learn.

A Proxmox environment for experimenting with Linux services, containers, and network design—with separate coordination and project workloads.

The work: Configure Linux VMs and LXC containers, organize Docker workloads, and troubleshoot service dependencies.
The connections: OpenWrt staged VLANs, Pi-hole DNS, SSH, and Tailscale bring networking and remote access into the same practical learning environment.

02 / Practical applications

Less friction.
More useful tools.

Two ASPIRA workflow applications bring student progress tracking and behavior observations into focused, role-controlled teacher and administrator interfaces.

Student Progress Tracker: Group sessions, attendance, goals, and service minutes work together with private drafts and paginated reports.
Behavior Tracker: Daily observations and incidents support correction flags, administrator review, and undo or restore workflows.
The approach: AI-assisted implementation with attention to startup reliability, mobile use, and confidentiality. Public previews use synthetic data.

03 / Web experience

A terminal.
With personality.

My personal website turns a familiar command-line interface into a retro, interactive web experience.

The work: Build and deploy an interactive terminal-style site on Vercel, with a distinctive CRT-inspired visual direction.
Explore it: The live website and public Fake-CRT repository make the project easy to inspect. The repository credits the upstream inspirations behind its CRT effects.

04 / Remote workspaces

A Linux workspace.
Inside a browser.

Configured Kasm to provide persistent browser-based Linux workspaces, combining application delivery with the networking that makes remote access possible.

The work: Connect Cloudflare Tunnel, MFA, and WebSocket access; verify persistence and session recreation.
Project status: Previously verified; currently paused to reserve lab capacity. The workspace service is not running.

05 / Connected home

Software meets
the everyday.

Connected home automation is a practical way to learn how services, messaging, devices, and physical behavior depend on each other.

The work: Integrate Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT with an authenticated Mosquitto MQTT broker using TLS.
The learning: Work through thermostat and lock integrations, including recorded physical acceptance checks—not just a successful dashboard response.

06 / More to explore

Keep building.
Keep learning.

My public GitHub includes Fake-CRT, with credits to upstream CRT inspirations, and Py_Game: Escape the Rogue AI, a Python command-line game developed with collaborators, with packaging and tests.

How I work

The build is only
part of the work.

I use AI as a tool for learning and implementation, alongside hands-on testing, troubleshooting, and documentation.

01 / Understand

Follow the connections.

Look at the whole path—from the interface and application to its service, network, and host.

02 / Verify

Test what matters.

Reproduce failures, check the behavior after a change, and distinguish a working screen from a working system.

03 / Document

Make it repeatable.

Capture the setup and troubleshooting steps so the next change starts with something useful.
