About Me

Hi, I'm Alex. I build web applications and tinker with self-hosted infrastructure. Currently working with TypeScript, Go, and a bit of Rust on the side. This is my personal corner of the internet where I share what I'm learning.

Projects

Homelab Dashboard

A self-hosted monitoring dashboard for my home server setup. Built with Svelte and Go.

Dotfiles

My personal development environment configuration — Neovim, tmux, and shell scripts.

RSS Reader

A minimal RSS reader with keyboard shortcuts. No tracking, no ads, just feeds.
