HOME · SELF TAUGHT AVAILABLE FOR WORK

Hardware on the bench. AI on the edge. Servers from a closet.

Self taught across the stack. Repairs and builds people thought were dead. AI terminals, home labs, and the quiet work that keeps systems running.

How a slow Windows 7 box turned into a career.

Started with a tablet. Loved playing Android games, then started poking around in settings, watching tech videos. Got genuinely curious about how the thing under my fingers actually worked.

My family had this one old computer running Windows 7. That thing was slow, it was old, but it still ran and still got everything done. Something about that was just amazing to me.

The curiosity never stopped. Taught myself across the board. Unlocking Android phones, getting into locked Windows machines people thought were gone for good, building PCs, bringing slow machines back to life. Software is where it all connects. If it's tech, I can figure it out.

The Nexus AI Terminal started as a side project just to see what I could do with AI. It grew into something real. Everything on this site, the home lab rundown, the accessibility system, all of it is AI assisted but designed, directed, and maintained by me. Pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No frameworks.

At home I run my own servers on Proxmox. DNS filtering for the whole network, home automation, storage, monitoring, all self hosted and kept off the open internet. Bare metal felt like overkill, so most of it lives in lightweight containers.

I have dyslexia. That's not a limitation. It's a filter. I cut through noise fast because I have to. If something doesn't make sense in plain language, it doesn't make sense.

Old computer refresh

Machines people thought were dead. Locked Windows, dead drives, slow boots. Mostly fixable.

// 05 HOME LAB · INFRASTRUCTURE what runs on the metal

Inside the home lab

A self hosted Proxmox node that quietly runs the house and a slice of this site. DNS filtering, home automation, network storage, monitoring, all on hardware I own.

Everything runs in its own lightweight container or VM, kept deliberately small. The point was never a big spec sheet. It was getting one ordinary machine to carry real work without complaining.

Nothing on the lab is exposed to the open internet. The public pieces reach back out through a Cloudflare Tunnel, so there are no open ports to scan and nothing sitting out there waiting to be poked. It started as a way to learn and stuck around because it turned out genuinely useful.
