I run my own infrastructure.Wiki, search, photos, meetings, media, home automation, backups, and this page, on hardware I own. I have spent my career keeping other people's servers up; this is the part I keep for myself.

01At home โ€” what runs on it
WikiEvery host, service, and change written down. The source of truth for this page.
Meeting recorderRecords, transcribes, summarizes, and indexes meetings so any past meeting can be searched by what was said.
SearchOne query across notes, wiki, bookmarks, and transcripts. Full text and by meaning.
PhotosPrivate library with face and object recognition. Find a photo by describing it.
MediaAutomated acquisition, subtitles, transcoding, on every screen in the house.
Home automationClimate, lighting, presence, and a wall display I built by hand.
AssistantsLocal models and scheduled assistants that check health, verify backups, and keep the wiki current. Their work is reviewed.
Phone clientAn Android app I wrote to reach my own services from anywhere.
lalalazyPlugin repository for an online game, in C#.
02At work enterprise software, utility sector
SystemsWindows Server administration, Hyper-V, Active Directory. Escalated support for database and deployment problems.
MonitoringHealth and alerting across the server fleet. I build the dashboards other people's escalations start from.
DataOracle over ODBC, and SQL reporting against billing and customer data.
AutomationScripts that connect the team's ticketing, monitoring, and documentation systems, plus the PowerShell QA and verification tools the team runs every day.
DocumentationIncident write-ups, runbooks, and the knowledge base the rest of the team searches before they call me.
DeliveryProject coordination, disaster recovery procedures, and training the engineers who handle the front line.
03At home โ€” everything else
DesktopsArch Linux on two of my machines. I write shell plugins for their desktop โ€” bar widgets and panels for windows, lights, and media.
ContainersDocker and Compose. One reverse proxy in front of everything, automatic TLS, single sign on.
ScriptingBash and Python where PowerShell would be the wrong tool.
BackupVersioned snapshots, local and offsite, with restore drills on a schedule.
AILocal inference, retrieval over my own documents, assistants with tools. Kept on a short leash.
