About Me#
I’m a tech enthusiast with a deep passion for homelabs and self-hosting. Over the years, I’ve built a home lab environment where I experiment with new technologies, automate tasks, and optimise my workflows — from running self-hosted services like media management and file storage, to containerisation with Docker.
This site is where I document everything I learn along the way.
