Applied Computer Science Student & System Administrator
I'm currently in my 2nd year studying Applied Computer Science at PXL University of Applied Sciences in Hasselt, Belgium, specializing in System and Network Administration. I love learning new things and can adapt quickly. I enjoy taking on new projects and challenges to expand my knowledge. I am mostly interested in everything related to technology.
I'm passionate about self-hosting various applications and services. I run an extensive homelab setup including Home Assistant for smart home automation, TrueNAS Scale with RAID storage, reverse proxy configurations, Docker containers, and much more. I'm working towards replacing all Google services with self-hosted alternatives.
