Personal Projects

Things I build on my own time, outside of work.

Home lab (decommissioned)

A home lab I built and ran while studying for CompTIA A+: self-hosted services, networking experiments, and a place to try things I wouldn't risk on a production system. It's no longer running, but building and troubleshooting it was a real part of how I prepared for the exam, and it helped me land my first technical role not long after.

Home server

What replaced it: a NUC mini PC running Pi-hole and Jellyfin. I'm planning to write up a guide on it, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Warboat

A Battleship clone I built from scratch: placement, firing, hit detection, and an AI opponent that uses Monte Carlo simulation to decide where to shoot. Play against the AI or locally with a friend, passing the device back and forth.

Desktop only for now. It doesn't play properly on mobile yet, so hold off if you're on your phone.
