I run server infrastructure for a living and build one for myself and my wife.
By day, I work helpdesk and system administration — the layer between people and the systems that are supposed to serve them. I'm working toward integration engineering, because the harder problem isn't always fixing what's broken, it's making systems talk to each other without anyone noticing the seams.
By night, I run my own stack: self-hosted, FOSS, no subscriptions, no unnecessary trust. Home Assistant, Jellyfin, Immich, you name it. Not only because it's cool — I simply wouldn't outsource judgment to a megacorporation any more than to a state.
I hold three things together that people assume don't fit: I'm mostly anarchist, I'm Christian, and I stay open-minded about the rest. They're not in conflict for me — both are about who gets to tell you what to do, and why you'd let them.
I hike and bike in the Beskydy mountain range, 3D print what I can, and read more than I talk. I like systems — digital, political, religious — and I like understanding how they actually work, not just how they're supposed to.
