A small fleet of Linux servers I provision, harden, and maintain by hand — VPN tunnels, DNS filtering, game hosting, and a control panel. No managed services doing the work. Everything below is live, polled every few seconds.
I'm a self-taught systems tinkerer who runs a personal fleet of Linux servers end to end. Every box on this page started as a bare Debian install and was configured by hand over SSH — networking, DNS, reverse proxies, containers, certificates, firewalls.
The point isn't saving money. It's actually understanding the stack. When something breaks at 1am, I'm the one who reads the logs and fixes it. This page is the proof — it's served off the same fleet it monitors.
Currently building SlashConnect, an AI-powered web & app builder with hosting baked in.
Provisioning, hardening, and maintaining Debian servers from scratch. systemd services, users, permissions, package management, the whole base layer.
WireGuard VPN tunnels, Pi-hole DNS filtering, firewall rules with iptables, SSH tunneling for private admin access, port management.
Docker, container networking, and game-server orchestration through Pterodactyl Wings. Building and debugging custom deployment configs.
nginx reverse proxies, PHP-FPM, MariaDB, Let's Encrypt certificates, and full LEMP-style deployments behind real domains.
