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)
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.
.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.
