Retired IT consultant • Self‑hoster & home‑lab tinkerer • Jekyll + JS hacker • Pi/Docker enjoyer
- Blog & personal site: Jekyll (portfolYOU) customization, search, icons, and performance tuning.
- Home‑lab: Raspberry Pi 4/5 cluster, Pi‑hole + Unbound, ADS‑B feeders, Immich on Wasabi S3, Plex, Audiobookshelf, and more.
- Automation: rclone/rsync backup scripts, GitHub Actions, and one‑shot setup scripts (idempotent by design).
- Dashboards & widgets: GridStack.js layout, Leaflet + OpenWeather radar, Pomodoro/clock/weather/moon/ICS.
I like shipping small, well‑documented tools that are easy to fork and run.
