I'm interested in building a more open, private and user-controlled digital world.
I enjoy exploring open-source technologies, privacy-respecting alternatives, self-hostable services and homelab setups — learning how things work, experimenting with different tools, and finding ways to rely less on closed platforms.
I believe technology should empower its users, respect their privacy, and give them greater control over their data.
- 🔐 Privacy & Security — Reducing unnecessary tracking and choosing privacy-respecting tools.
- 🌱 Open Source — Exploring community-driven software, contributing where I can, and learning from others.
- 🕊️ Digital Freedom — Supporting user choice, data ownership, transparency and freedom from vendor lock-in.
- 🏠 Self-Hosting — Exploring alternatives that let me host and manage my own services.
- 🧪 Homelab Experiments — Testing tools, learning through hands-on projects, and documenting what I discover.
I'm particularly interested in services that can be self-hosted, giving users more control over their data and infrastructure.
Things I'm exploring include:
- ☁️ Personal cloud storage and file synchronisation
- 🔒 DNS filtering, network privacy and secure browsing
- 🗄️ Home servers, backups and data ownership
- 🎵 Self-hosted media and personal libraries
- 🐧 Linux, open-source operating systems and privacy-focused software
- 🔧 Open-source alternatives to everyday applications
My approach is simple: explore, experiment, learn and share.
Your data. Your devices. Your choices.
I prefer tools that are open, transparent, privacy-respecting and, where practical, self-hostable.
I don't believe every service needs to be self-hosted or every proprietary tool needs replacing. I value understanding the trade-offs and making informed choices.
