This page is where I’ll keep the projects, lab work, troubleshooting notes, and practical write-ups that come out of study, self-hosting, networking, and hands-on IT learning.
Some entries are full builds, some are problem-and-fix write-ups, and some are smaller practical pieces that helped me understand a tool, service, or workflow better.
Networking, cloud, self-hosting, Linux, troubleshooting, and practical infrastructure work.
Real builds, lessons learned, and progress that reflects how I’m learning rather than polished theory alone.
A place to document work, track growth, and show practical hands-on experience over time.
Core areas I’m actively building out. These can link to full pages or individual write-ups as the site grows.
Infrastructure, virtualisation, networking, and self-hosting
My home lab is where a lot of the real learning happens. It gives me a place to test services, build virtual machines, work with networking gear, and break things safely while figuring out how they actually work.
This includes Proxmox hosts, self-hosted services, routing and switching labs, Linux systems, storage, and the gradual build-out of a more capable home setup.
Hosting, DNS, deployment concepts, and platform learning
This section is for cloud-focused work, infrastructure concepts, and deployment-related projects. That includes things like DNS, hosting, networking fundamentals that support services, and practical experiments tied to cloud study.
Over time, I want this area to show a clearer progression from learning concepts to deploying and documenting working solutions.
Problems solved while working through labs, builds, and real setups
A lot of useful learning comes from fixing things that did not work the first time. This area is for documenting issues, the steps taken to troubleshoot them, and what finally solved the problem.
It is also a good place to show how I think through problems and what I learned from each fix.
Placeholder cards you can replace with real posts as you publish them.
Lab build idea
A write-up covering the hardware, why I chose it, how the nodes are being used, and what I learned while setting everything up.
Networking write-up idea
A post about identifying gear, resetting devices where possible, checking IOS versions, and turning older hardware into something useful for practice.
Troubleshooting write-up idea
A more detailed problem-and-fix post showing how I worked through connectivity, service resolution, and configuration mistakes until the environment behaved properly.
Right now this page gives you a clean projects layout that matches the homepage style and gives you room to grow into it.
As you add more content, each card can become a separate page, a blog-style write-up, or a deeper technical breakdown with screenshots, diagrams, commands, and lessons learned.
Areas this projects page can naturally cover.
