I run my own infrastructure.Notes, search, photos, meetings, media, home automation, backups, a crew of AI agents, 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 — what runs on it | |
|---|---|
| Notebook | Every host, service, and change written down, by me and by the agents that work here. The source of truth for this page. |
| Meeting recorder | Records, transcribes, summarizes, and indexes meetings, and recognizes regular speakers by voice. Any past meeting can be searched by what was said. |
| Search | One query across notes, bookmarks, and transcripts. Full text and by meaning. |
| Photos | Private library with face and object recognition. Find a photo by describing it. |
| Media | Automated acquisition, subtitles, transcoding, on every screen in the house. |
| Video feed | My subscriptions in one feed, ranked by my own taste profile instead of a platform's algorithm. |
| Home automation | Climate, lighting, presence, and a wall display I built by hand. |
| Agents | A crew of AI agents works through a task queue. They plan, build, and test, and most changes are reviewed by a second agent before they land. Scheduled ones check health and verify backups. Over a thousand tasks closed since September. |
| Phone app | An Android app I wrote. When something needs my decision, it arrives there as one question with its options. |
| lalalazy | Plugin repository for an online game, in C#. |
| 02At work enterprise software, utility sector | |
| Systems | Windows Server administration, Hyper-V, Active Directory. Escalated support for database and deployment problems. |
| Monitoring | Health and alerting across the server fleet. I build the dashboards other people's escalations start from. |
| Data | Oracle over ODBC, and SQL reporting against billing and customer data. |
| Automation | Scripts that connect the team's ticketing, monitoring, and documentation systems, plus the PowerShell QA and verification tools the team runs every day. |
| Documentation | Incident write-ups, runbooks, and the knowledge base the rest of the team searches before they call me. |
| Delivery | Project coordination, disaster recovery procedures, and training the engineers who handle the front line. |
| 03At home — everything else | |
| Desktops | Arch Linux on two of my machines. I write shell plugins for their desktop: bar widgets and panels for windows, lights, and media. |
| Containers | Docker and Compose on both servers. |
| Scripting | Bash and Python where PowerShell would be the wrong tool. |
| Backup | Versioned snapshots, local and offsite, with restore drills on a schedule. |
| AI | Local inference, retrieval over my own documents, agents with tools. Kept on a short leash. |
