I program stuff sometimes.

About Me

I started out with hacking/modding video games. After messing around with that for a while I wanted to start making my own projects. These projects were fangames and other tools, but I learned a lot from them. Eventually I started making my own little games.

Tools I Use

  • Game Maker Studio 2
  • RPG Maker VX Ace
  • Unity
  • Ren'Py
  • Blender
  • Audacity
  • OBS
  • Paint.NET
  • GIMP
  • Atom

Homelab

I run a homelab hosting virtualization, networking, and containerized services for learning, backups, and self-hosted apps. Services include Proxmox, Unraid, Pi-hole, Nginx, Pterodactyl, Jellyfin, Navidrome, Kiwix, and tools for automation and backups. Below is a snapshot of the dashboard and services I maintain.

What I learned

Setting this up gave me practical skills in virtualization, storage and backups, networking (VLANs, DNS), container orchestration, and service monitoring. I focus on reliable backups, automated deployments, and keeping services isolated while maintaining easy access for development and media consumption.
