About
Building Systems. Solving Problems. Sharing Knowledge.
From Linux servers and networking to self-hosted infrastructure, AI experiments, and real-world engineering challenges—this is where I document what I build, what I learn, and what I discover along the way.
Every project tells a story.
Every problem teaches a lesson.
Every solution deserves to be shared.

What You’ll Find Here
Infrastructure
Building reliable server infrastructure, virtualization platforms, backup strategies, and production-ready environments.
Linux & Open Source
Daily experiences with Linux administration, automation, shell scripting, containers, and open-source technologies.
Networking
WireGuard VPN, MikroTik, VLAN, routing, security, and network architecture based on real deployments.
WordPress & Web
Web development, hosting, optimization, security, and performance tuning for modern websites.
Artificial Intelligence
Practical implementation of AI tools, local LLMs, automation, and productivity workflows.
Homelab
Experiments, hardware reviews, self-hosting, storage, virtualization, and lessons learned from running a personal datacenter.
Current Focus
At the moment, I’m actively working on several long-term projects:
• Building a production-ready Proxmox homelab
• AI-assisted translation quality evaluation using COMET
• Self-hosted infrastructure for media, collaboration, and automation
• Workshop development for web technology education
• Modern WordPress solutions for businesses and organizations
Why This Blog Exists
Technology changes every day.
Documentation often disappears.
Experience is easily forgotten.
I created this blog to preserve ideas, document engineering decisions, share practical solutions, and hopefully help others solve similar problems.
Most articles here are based on real deployments, production systems, personal experiments, and years of hands-on experience—not simply rewritten documentation.
A Personal Note
I believe knowledge becomes more valuable when it is shared.
Whether you’re a fellow system administrator, developer, student, entrepreneur, or simply curious about technology, I hope you’ll find something useful here.
Welcome to Dandy Notes.
Let’s keep building, learning, and sharing.
