Personal site / digital scratchpad

Infrastructure tinkerer, macro-thinker, and builder of useful digital systems.

I like technology, systems, philosophy, open-source tools, local AI, and practical infrastructure. The goal is usually simple: build something useful, understand how it works, and avoid turning it into a flaming shrine to overengineering. Usually.

About

About Me

I’m interested in technology, science, philosophy, governance, left-wing politics, logic, humanism, and empiricism. I tend to think in systems: how tools connect, how institutions behave, how people actually use things, and how to make complicated setups less stupid.

This site is a simple place to collect my projects, ideas, experiments, and whatever digital debris survives long enough to be useful.

Skills & Interests

What I Work With

Technology

Linux, self-hosting, servers, containers, networking, backups, and open-source infrastructure.

Local AI

Local LLMs, RAG, model testing, fine-tuning ideas, and personal AI workflows that do not require sacrificing a goat to the cloud.

Research

Governance systems, economics, cybernetics, philosophy, political structures, and institutional design.

Creative Chaos

Writing, anime, dogs, weird concepts, dark humor, and organizing messy ideas into something almost civilized.

Projects

Current Experiments

Homelab / Self-hosting

A home infrastructure setup for hosting useful services, learning systems administration, and keeping control over my own tools.

Infrastructure

Local AI Experiments

Testing local models, personal datasets, memory systems, and AI workflows that can run on my own hardware.

AI

Governance Scratchbook

A long-form thinking project about governance, economics, cybernetics, institutions, and how society might coordinate better.

Research

Small Business Tech Services

Exploring simple websites, open-source tools, hosting, and practical tech support for local small businesses.

Services

Personal RAG Files

Structured notes and datasets for personal knowledge, including an unnecessarily formal profile for my dogs. Civilization has peaked.
