Projects

OpenWebUI
Because every homelab needs AI conversations. My playground for experimenting with large language models and pretending I understand machine learning.

IT-Tools
The Swiss Army knife of my homelab. A collection of utilities that I definitely needed and definitely didn't just deploy because Docker makes it too easy.

HomeLab Project
My documented journey of turning bedroom servers into a 'professional' homelab. Featuring Proxmox VMs, Docker chaos, and services I swear I'll document... tomorrow.
