This is a place to gather my projects, notes, and experiences in one location. It began as a way to document progress and keep track of details that might otherwise be forgotten, but it has also become a record of the different areas explored over time. The content reflects a wide range of interests, from Astrophotography, Linux systems, and server management to single-board computers, fabrication tools, and other technologies that continue to shift and evolve.
While the primary purpose is organization and reference, making the material publicly available adds another dimension. Sharing these posts allows others with similar interests to follow along, get inspiration, or simply see how certain challenges were approached. The intent is not to provide polished tutorials, but to maintain a space where ‘work in progress’, ‘trial and error’, and long-term notes are accessible.
