by day.
The rest of the time I design, build, and run my own infrastructure: a five-node Linux fleet, self-hosted apps, and the automation that keeps it all alive.

Infrastructure
The homelab, mapped. Five machines with defined roles, mesh networking, public ingress, and a failover design that got tested for real.
Loupe
A self-hosted photo culling app with its own machine-learning pipeline, running on my hardware.
AWS capstone
Pricing, deploying, and auto-scaling a web app on AWS, then moving its data to a second cloud.

My cloud capstone: pricing, deploying, and auto-scaling on AWS
The capstone that made cloud real: price it, build it, load-test it, then move its data to a second cloud.

Folding two repos into one, then scrubbing my git history
Merged Loupe's two repos into one and purged a home address and network layout from years of commits.

Jul 5
Handing a job to whichever machine should run it
Built a way to hand work to the right machine and walk away, instead of running everything by hand.
