Making things that bleed edge.

Programming, AI, security research, 3D printing, gaming and a rack of noisy servers — welcome to my personal forge. Everything here is built, broken and rebuilt for fun.

// what I get up to

Too many hobbies, one workshop.

All of it runs out of my home lab — a proper rack in the corner quietly doing AI, game servers and media tricks while I break things in the terminal.

⌨️

Programming

Building bots, game tools, automations and APIs. Discord.py, Python, shell — if it can be scripted, it ends up scripted here.

🧠

AI & LLMs

Running local LLMs and voice-clone engines on real GPUs — chatting, roasting and talking through my own homelab-hosted models.

🛡️

Hacking & InfoSec

CTF-style security research on purpose-built targets. Vulnerable VMs, penetration testing, wireless experiments — locked to my own gear.

3D Printing

Printing practical bits, controller parts and the occasional questionable model. Modelling, tuning, and re-tuning the printer like everyone else.

🎮

Gaming

PC gaming plus self-hosted game servers for the crew — my own panel and nodes, mods included.

Homelab

A two-Xeon Unraid box with 128GB RAM, dual GPUs, Docker everything, and a Tailscale mesh connecting it all to the world.

Things I've built & broken.

FaffBot — Discord game host

A fully custom AI-powered Discord bot running a per-server Halloween guess game: progressive riddles, Vincent-Price voice, brutal roasts, and a hall-of-shadows leaderboard site. Pure-code scoring, zero hallucinated verdicts.

Homegrown AI rig

Offline voice-clone stack on a Tesla P40 — Chatterbox TTS rendered through a job-queue worker with ffmpeg stitching, plus a local Ollama judge endpoint. No cloud keys, no phoning home.

uConsole cyberdeck

ClockworkPi handheld running Kali — kitted with LoRa, GPS and WiFi expansions. Being built into a proper field pentest deck with mesh, GPS-geo-tagged scanning and offline command channels.

Unity endless runner

First proper Unity project — a dino-runner-style infinite obstacle game. Learning the engine, sprites, physics and game feel from scratch.

Pelican.game panel

Self-hosted game-server management panel + wings node behind Cloudflare — the crew's own private Minecraft/valheim-style hosting, running on the same rack.

Prints & models

Functional prints for the lab — brackets, controller mounts, custom deck parts. Constantly re-tuned and re-calibrated like any respectable printer owner.
