OPEN SOURCE
Contributing to the ecosystem. I rely on, test, and occasionally patch the infrastructure tools I use daily.
AUTOMATION
Eliminating manual toil. Using Python, Ansible, and Terraform to define environments as code.
HOME LAB
Personal infrastructure. Running K8s, Proxmox, and self-hosted services for data ownership.

Homelab reorganization 2026
This is the initial phase of the 2026 homelab reorganization at MickGeekLabs.
Phase 1: Migrate the Jellyfin server from an HP Elitedesk 800 G3 SFF to an HP Prodesk 600 G4 mini equipped with a USB-C DAS. Phase 2: Deploy a Ugreen NASync DXP4800 Plus 4-bay NAS as the primary services server. Phase 3: Repurpose the DXP2800 2-bay NAS (the current services server) for a new specialized role.
Once these phases are complete, further expansion and reorganization will follow as the budget allows.
Developer Issue Tracking Scheme -- DITS
DITS (Developer Issue Tracking System) is a purpose-built issue tracker designed exclusively for individual software developers. It eliminates the “collaboration tax” of team-oriented tools by providing friction-less issue capture, sub-100ms interactions, and deep bidirectional Git integration, offering a keyboard-first, flow-state-optimized experience across web, desktop, mobile, and IDE platforms while ensuring complete data portability and user ownership.
