Four things a CV can't show. Start with the homelab.
First-Line Support Homelab
A Windows Server 2022 domain on Proxmox, built from spare parts: Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, file shares, Group Policy, a joined PC and remote admin from a laptop. Every snag written up, plus the decisions I'd now make differently. Start here.

Homelab Host: Server Build from Spare Parts
The hardware half of the homelab. The Proxmox host, built from leftover parts (i5-9400F, 16GB DDR4, a GTX 760 because the CPU has no graphics of its own), photographed step by step from bare board to first POST.

Secure Data Erasure: A Briefing for Non-Technical Trustees
Research and writing rather than kit. A Coventry reuse organisation wanted to start taking laptops in from the public, which means becoming responsible for strangers' personal data. Nobody there could judge whether it was achievable, so I researched the standards and wrote the briefing they needed to decide. The full ten-page note is on the page.

Roll For Pets
A live multiplayer collecting game with accounts, trading, chat and three leaderboards, running on Cloudflare Workers. Designed by me, built with AI tools, kept running for real players. It's here for what it taught me about building with AI, shipping to real players, and keeping a live service running.
