IT security, infrastructure, and building things that work.
Systems and security practitioner based in Banbury, UK. I work in IT security, build and maintain my own infrastructure stack, and spend too much time automating things that probably didn't need automating. If it runs on Linux and lives in a cupboard, I'm probably interested.
A household operating system built on Home Assistant. Voice pipeline with local STT, adaptive dashboard on a living room kiosk, SMS bridge for family messaging, presence-aware magic buttons, and person-aware automations. One coherent system instead of a pile of smart-home tricks.
Complete sovereignty stack. Migrated off Google to self-hosted Nextcloud, Proton Mail, Vaultwarden, Immich, and Paperless-ngx. Everything behind Cloudflare tunnels and a Caddy reverse proxy, backed up daily to Backblaze B2.
Automated playlist generation from a self-hosted music library. Weekly playlists built from listening history, sonic analysis, and unplayed tracks. ListenBrainz scrobbling, embedded lyrics, and a Soulseek integration for hard-to-find albums.
Self-hosted on a mini PC in a cupboard in Banbury.
