Personal Projects

Part of how I learn and stay current is through personal projects. I prefer this method to reading text books, listen to professors talk for hours, etc... and gives me hands on experience. I also really enjoy working on something that has an outcome or something I can show for. So here are the personal projects I have worked on and am proud of!

Homelab Setup & Documentation - Original​

This (link to GitHub) was my first full homelab setup. I spent a lot of time planning the network, setting up servers, and automating tasks. It taught me a lot about how different systems work together and gave me a reliable environment to test new tools. I also documented everything so I could share what I learned.

Linux Projects​

This original (older) project project is all about setting up and customizing Linux for my own setup. I worked on installing cool software, securing it, and making it easy to use. It’s a mix of practical setup and experimenting with new tools to see what works best. Have an updated GitHub project for what I currently use.

Meme Website - rickroll.zip​

A small, goofy internet lore meme website I made for fun. Nothing serious, just a way to learn while creating something fun.

Service Uptime Tracker​

My Uptime Tracker Website for all my services uses a tool called Uptime Kuma and tracks the uptime of various services. Use Google Cloud Free Tier, discord as a SIEM, cloudflare tunnels for networking.

Capstone Individual Project​

My capstone project was a personal project for the nonprofit company we were supporting, acting as a central documentation source. Simple website to host the information they may need.

This Website​

Of course, this website itself is a project. Where I share my work, blog, and portfolio. It’s also a project that I’m frequently updating!

Technical Blogs​

Also have written about the projects I work on and what I learn along the way. Check the Blogs tab on this website!
