A control room for experiments, infrastructure, and the evolution of the stack.
This space documents my journey in building a resilient homelab environment. I am currently leveraging a custom-built orchestration VM to manage the infrastructure, creating a centralized plane that coordinates services and ensures a cohesive architecture across all nodes.
Bridging the gap between intent and execution through AI.
I am experimenting with both locally-hosted and cloud AI, utilizing MCPs (Model Context Protocol) and tools like Hermes and OpenClaw. My focus is on refining the process of autonomous maintenance—turning complex homelab management into streamlined, agent-driven workflows.
Infrastructure, hardware, services, and the practical shape of the stack.
Powering the lab is a 4U server running Unraid with 110TB of raw storage, providing a robust foundation for my media library and critical services. This is complemented by a Proxmox cluster of 7 nodes, where I experiment with Vibe Coding, deploy various web applications, and host a diverse array of Docker containers.
Fast-moving builds that start with momentum and get shaped into something real.
A project-driven approach to development where I move quickly with AI in the loop. From myplantjournal.com to the Huntsville Comic and Pop Culture Driver Coordinator app, these projects explore the intersection of rapid prototyping and functional utility.
A professional through-line that connects the tinkering to the day job.
The culmination of a lifelong curiosity for how things work. My passion for building and breaking things in the lab informs my professional approach to problem-solving, ensuring that the curiosity of a tinkerer is always backed by the precision of an engineer.
