Self-Hosted Solutions Architect · HomeLab Engineer · Full-Stack Tinkerer. This channel is about owning every layer of the systems I rely on. My homelab is my workshop, classroom, and canvas. I build to understand—wiring networks, routing packets, writing scripts, breaking things and rebuilding them better. Core principles: decentralization, resilience, privacy, intention. Mission: own my infrastructure, map my environment, and design a digital life I trust. I’m not chasing perfection; I’m pursuing sovereignty—over data, devices, time, and dependencies. I’m a late bloomer, reclaiming imagination through practice and iteration. Expect real builds, weird experiments, failures, fixes, postmortems, and lessons in between. You’ll see self-hosted services, network design, storage, automation, monitoring, and security hardening—explained clearly and honestly. If you want practical homelab walkthroughs, transparent learning, and tools you can run yourself, you’re in the right place.
