I’m a DevOps and cloud infrastructure engineer who’s been building Linux-first software since the early 2010s, mostly with Python and Docker. In my spare time, I maintain open-source tools that help people run reliable home-lab services, streamline media workflows, and get more out of SteamOS handheld gaming.

Some of the projects I’m best known for:

Unmanic: library optimisation and automation tooling

Steam Headless: a headless Steam Docker setup for remote play and game streaming

Deck Verified / DeckSettings: community-driven handheld game settings and reports (website plus Decky plugins)

Headendarr: tooling around TVHeadend and IPTV workflows

HLS Proxy: a Python HLS/M3U8 proxy built for real-world streaming edge cases

Docker Swarm templates: ready-to-run stacks for tools like Sentry and OpenObserve

Sponsoring helps cover infrastructure and tooling costs, and it buys back time for maintenance, documentation, and new features. If you sponsor, thank you. Your support directly keeps these projects moving.
