I build things that probably shouldn't exist

I spend my time messing around with custom systems — DMX lighting rigs, audio setups, servers, cybersecurity tooling, and anything Linux. If it has a terminal or a patch bay, I'm interested.


This site runs on a CMS I built myself because existing ones got in my way. That about sums it up.

Stuff I actually mess around with

DMX & Stage Lighting

Running MagicQ PC with a MagicQ USB-to-DMX interface. Programming fixtures and building small custom control setups.

MagicQ DMX USB-DMX
Audio Systems

Occasionally working with mixing desks and editing audio. Basic setup, routing, and making things sound right when needed.

Mixing Audio Editing Cabling
Linux & Servers

Self-hosted everything. Hosting services, experimenting, and keeping things running smoothly.

Self-hosted Practical Low-cost
Cybersecurity

More about securing things than breaking them. Locking down systems and learning how to keep stuff safe.

Hardening System Security Basics
Custom Systems

Building useful tools for everyday problems. Small systems, scripts, and ideas that should exist but don’t.

Scripting Automating Practical
Networking

Not a primary focus — mostly using tools like Tailscale to make things connect when they need to.
