About
// Focus areas
Microsoft 365 & Windows
Administering and supporting Microsoft 365 and Windows environments – the part that simply has to work every day.
Homelab & self-hosting
A Proxmox cluster with my own services, backups, monitoring and firewall rules. I’d rather run it myself than rent it somewhere.
Smart home
Home Assistant with Matter/Thread, custom dashboards and automations that still know what they are doing after a power outage. Flipping a light switch by hand? Only in an emergency.
Maker
ESP32 displays, 3D printing and small Windows/Mac tools – usually because what I needed did not exist in that form.
A chain reaction instead of manual work
This is how an automation runs at my place: a sensor notices something, Home Assistant decides, a radio command goes out – and the light is on before I would have found the switch.
- Sensor detects motion
- Automation starts
- Rules click into place
- Command over Matter
- Light on
Some call that lazy – I call it efficient.
// How I work
I’m an IT technician, not a developer. Everything you see here – the projects and this website – was built with AI: I describe what I need, AI writes the code, I test it, give feedback and decide what stays. That’s also known as vibe coding.
What I bring is knowing what a tool is for, how it has to feel in everyday use – and the patience to keep testing until it does exactly that.
