XP Farm

Production-grade self-hosted infrastructure running 24/7 — networking, compute, storage, monitoring, smart home, and a full Linux ISO stack, all built from scratch.

Four Proxmox nodes on ZFS with a Raspberry Pi tie-breaker, so services replicate and fail over to another node on their own.

NetBox holds every device, address and cable in the lab, kept in step with Proxmox by a sync job.

Moved the photo library, uptime monitoring and tunnel connectors off a single Docker host into their own VMs and containers, each with failover.

Forgejo hosts my repositories, with push mirrors to GitHub and branch protection on anything that ships.

Diagnosed a dead function-room sound system, sized and installed a replacement amplifier, and documented the setup.

A static portfolio and blog built from my own journal entries by a Python generator, deployed on Vercel.

A fork of an open-source Stream Deck plugin that reports live Claude usage limits and local token and cost totals — extended with dial support, a vendored dependency, and a release gate.

A Windows tool that builds a sales-lead list for a function venue from public sources, keeps the source for every contact, and writes into the venue's own spreadsheet after a person reviews it.

End-to-end overhaul of a hotel's network and TV across 100+ rooms — new topology, an IPTV headend, and automated recovery.

A review of a hotel's network with a target design and a runbook the owner can keep.

A self-hosted DNS server on a Raspberry Pi for local names and filtering.

A wall-mounted touchscreen that keeps the household in sync — shared calendar, live weather, and event countdowns at a glance.

Three separate sites joined into one network so remote devices feel local, with a unified camera network and consistent cross-site access.

A sandboxed build runner for my Forgejo repositories, kept off the home network.

An Ansible baseline for the Proxmox nodes, starting as a report of what has drifted.

A redesigned Home Assistant dashboard laid out room by room.

Moving the lab's servers and guests onto their own VLAN, apart from home devices.

A mobile app for submitting and tracking caddy ratings, with 5-star submissions syncing live to a provider dashboard.

An open-source Discord bridge for running Claude Code on a headless server — start, drive, and supervise AI sessions from a phone, published with full docs and versioned releases.

A Windows tool that keeps the Downloads folder sorted on its own — files land, get classified by type, and move to where they belong without being touched.

A three-node Talos Linux Kubernetes cluster on Proxmox, built to learn the platform and then torn down.
