Personal Website
A home for stories, photographs, and the things I want to remember and share.
Projects
Building things that make life more interesting.
Some projects begin with curiosity. Others begin with a problem I want to solve. This is where I keep the things I’m building, experimenting with, and learning along the way.
Featured project
Compass Rose
Compass Rose is the working name for the personal platform behind this site and the systems around it. It brings together the website, self-hosting, photography, documentation, and automation in a way that can evolve and remain maintainable over time.

Current projects
Things taking shape.
Some are already useful. Some are still changing. All of them are places to learn by making.
Home Server & NAS
A quiet place at home for files, backups, media, and services I want to understand and maintain myself.
Photography Workflow
A simpler path from camera to archive, with room for editing, sharing, and keeping the originals safe.
Automation & Experiments
Small tools and useful connections that remove friction or make an idea more fun to explore.
