I build practical systems that connect hardware, networks and code into one working environment.
sensor / device → MQTT → automation → service → interface → result
| Area | What I build |
|---|---|
| 🏠 Smart home | Home Assistant automations, openHAB rules, Node-RED flows, control panels |
| 🧩 ESPHome / ESP32 | Sensors, relays, displays, energy monitoring, BMS telemetry, custom hardware |
| 📡 MQTT | State exchange between devices, services and controllers |
| 🔐 Networking and VPN | Remote access, segmentation and secure service connections |
| 🤖 Automation | Python, PowerShell and small utilities for repetitive tasks |
| 💻 Applications | Local web apps and data analysis tools |
- Working beats impressive. A project should run and solve a real problem.
- Security by default. Secrets stay out of public code.
- Documentation next to the code. Pinouts, dependencies and limitations are written down.
- Small iterations. A working prototype first, then UX, reliability and maintainability.
- AI as a tool, not a replacement for engineering. I use it for research, drafts, debugging and documentation, then run the code, check it against real hardware and APIs and review security myself.
ESPHome configurations and wiring diagrams, Node-RED flows and MQTT patterns, maintenance scripts, and notes about VPN, networking and local services.
