What I build and run.
The same architecture I operate myself: dedicated servers, a broad suite of self-hosted services, segmented and firewalled networks and encrypted remote access, with monitoring, redundancy and backups built in. Every system is documented and tested before handover, and ongoing management is available when you want it.
Private cloud and file services
Files, photos, notes and passwords on hardware you own, synchronized across every device.
- Private photo and video libraries with self-hosted search
- File storage and synchronization across computers and phones
- Self-hosted credential management for the business or the family
- Private notes and document tools, including text recognition for scanned files
Network architecture and security
Networks designed in segments, so each class of device reaches only what it should.
- Separate networks for work, family, guests, smart-home devices and internet-facing servers
- Zone-based firewall policies that block traffic between segments by default
- Network-wide filtering of ads, trackers and known malicious domains
- Redundant internet connections, traffic prioritization and privacy-routed segments
- Wi-Fi planned and tuned for full coverage
Secure remote access
Encrypted access to home and office systems from anywhere, with only the services you choose made public.
- Encrypted private networking across every device you own
- Selected services published through protected tunnels and secure gateways
- Privacy-routed services where anonymity matters
- Travel setups that keep connections private on public networks
Private AI and automation
AI infrastructure on your own hardware, so research, documents and data never leave your control, kept current as models and tooling advance.
- Self-hosted models, interfaces and agent harnesses on dedicated hardware
- Private search and AI research engines
- Automated agents that monitor, summarize and report on a schedule
- Workflow automation that connects the services you rely on
- Hardware acceleration for on-device AI and media processing
Media and home systems
Private media and home automation, organized and dependable.
- Personal media servers for the household
- Home automation brought together on one private platform
- Video and media archives you control
- Streaming devices and displays configured to work together
Management, monitoring and backups
Infrastructure that is maintained, observed and recoverable.
- Central management of services across one server or many
- Live monitoring and logs for every service
- Redundant storage with parity protection, mirrored drives and automatic snapshots
- Versioned backups with tested restores, and scheduled integrity checks
- Planned updates, with each change checked before and after
