IT Projects & Homelab Builds
Welcome to my IT projects and homelab builds. This is where I document the hardware, software and configurations behind the projects I work on.
From building a retro gaming PC and experimenting with virtualisation to monitoring my homelab and running self-hosted services, these projects cover a range of practical IT challenges.
Each project includes hands-on experience, technical details and lessons learned along the way, with step-by-step guides to help you build or configure something similar yourself.
