About me

I am a Technical Writer and Systems Administrator driven by a passion for self-hosting and open-source technology. I bridge the gap between complex infrastructure and human clarity, turning technical challenges into documented solutions.

My journey began with a simple need for independence. Frustrated by the high costs and "promotional traps" of commercial hosting, I turned to self-hosting.

Today, I manage a private production environment powered by a cluster of Raspberry Pis, hosting everything from personal laboratories to client websites. I believe that true digital ownership comes from understanding and managing your own stack.
