I haven’t done this whole writing thing in a while except for emails and text messages, so I’m not sure how good I’ll be at it… Please bear with me as I get the hang of it.

The purpose of this blog isn’t going to be about sharing my adventures around the globe or a cool recipe I tried out, but instead to document some of my technology projects that I will be working on in the future. I wish I would have had the forethought to start this once I got out of school, but hindsight is 20/20 I suppose.

The past couple years, I have been getting more and more into self-hosting and the /r/homelab community, so I thought it would be cool to document my projects as I go along to see how much progress I’ve made. Some neat projects that I’ve completed recently (and that you’ve missed out on) are as follows:

• purchasing, configuring, and mounting my own HP DL380p Gen 8 server
• setting up Hyper-V and Docker on that server to run all of my home applications
• learning and getting proficient with Docker
• wiring my recently-purchased home with CAT6 cable
• ripping out my car dash and installing an Android Auto compatible head unit

In the future, I have some cooler projects coming up. I’m currently waiting to receive a Synoalogy DS920+ alongside four 6TB hard drives, a Quadro GPU for my server, and a new 1 Gig switch for my home. I’m hoping to document that upcoming project in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out.
