Home Assistant · Docker · Self-hosting

Building tools that make smart homes and homelabs less annoying to maintain.

I build open-source tools for Home Assistant, Docker, Cloudflare Tunnels, and self-hosted infrastructures. If something can be automated instead of managed by hand, I’ll probably try to automate it.

Main playgrounds

Where I spend most of my time

Most of my work lives at the intersection of smart home automation, self-hosting, infrastructure tooling, and developer experience.

How I think

Small tools, real problems

Automation first

Automation beats documentation, and documentation beats manual steps.

Less fragile by default

If it breaks easily, it is probably not finished yet.

Security with usability

Security should protect the workflow without making it painful to use.

Nerd tools, less annoying

The best tools make complex things feel calm, obvious, and reversible.

Behind the name

Still Darkdragon14

Darkdragon14 is an old childhood nickname that somehow survived. I kept it because it still reminds me to build things with curiosity, not just seriousness.

Want to contribute?

Issues, ideas, and PRs are welcome.

If you’re using one of my projects and something feels wrong, let me know — chances are I’ll want to fix it.
