Home lab

Home tech projects I build and tinker with.

A look at the Raspberry Pi, router, dashboard, monitoring, and automation projects running around my house. I keep the private details private, so this is the high-level tour. If you want help setting up something similar, just ask.

What is running right now.

These are real systems I use every day. The descriptions stay general on purpose, but the projects are very real.

A quick note

Why the details stay fuzzy.

Anything security-related on this page stays vague on purpose. Publishing your own network layout, camera setup, or credentials online is exactly the kind of thing I tell people not to do. If you want help setting up a Raspberry Pi project, cleaning up your router, or organizing your home network, I am happy to walk you through it.
