Exploring infrastructure and AI through personal projects

I manage a private Linux-based home lab supporting virtualization, storage, and self-hosted services. It gives me a practical place to explore infrastructure and understand how the systems fit together.

I build personal projects using frontier AI models and locally hosted open-weight models, including LoudounDeals.com and a repeatable development pipeline. I use these projects to explore practical applications of AI-assisted development and automation.

I also configure secure remote access, reverse proxies, SSL certificates, and VPN connections for my home lab and personal services. This work supports ongoing learning in Linux administration, cloud infrastructure, and network security.
