Uses

The gear, homelab, and tools behind my work. I self-host a lot of what I build — this is what runs it.

Homelab — Server (zeus)

Proxmox VE 8.4

Hypervisor running my homelab on an Intel Core i7-14700K (20 cores / 28 threads) with 94 GB RAM — VMs and LXC containers for everything I self-host.

Docker & Docker Compose

How I package and run most self-hosted services, with reproducible setups.

Nginx Proxy Manager + Cloudflare Tunnel

Fronts my services and maps them to subdomains over HTTPS — no ports exposed.

Prometheus + Grafana + Blackbox

Monitoring stack for metrics, dashboards, and real uptime/latency probes (which power the live status on my homepage).

Media & apps

Jellyfin, Plex, Emby, Pi-hole, Homarr, AMP game servers, and more — all in isolated LXC containers.

Storage — Synology NAS

Volume 1 — 27.93 TB

RAID 5 array of 8 TB drives.

Volume 3 — 52.36 TB

SHR with 1-drive fault tolerance, 4 × 20 TB drives.

Volume 2 — 1.8 TB

SHR, a single 2 TB drive.

Workstation

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X

12 cores / 24 threads — my daily driver for development.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

Handles graphics, encoding, and the occasional game.

64 GB RAM · 1 TB NVMe

Plenty of headroom for containers, VMs, and builds.

Arch Linux

A fast, minimal, rolling-release setup I control end to end.

Software & Dev Tools

Visual Studio / VS Code

Primary editors for C#/.NET and TypeScript work.

Claude Code

AI in my engineering loop — including building this very site.

.NET, Next.js, PostgreSQL

The stack I reach for most, from enterprise SaaS to personal projects.

Git & GitHub Actions

Version control and CI/CD for reliable, repeatable releases.
