I’m Dika. I navigate enterprise systems and over-engineer my homelab.

Hi, I'm Dika. I spend my days navigating the complexities of enterprise banking systems and monitoring things that shouldn't break. While my professional life is spent in high-security, high-stakes environments, my personal time is dedicated to the complete freedom of my homelab.

I'm a big believer in owning my data and understanding the infrastructure I rely on. One small Dell OptiPlex runs about twenty Docker Compose stacks: Immich for my photos, Jellyfin and the *arr stack for media, SiYuan for notes, and Prometheus with Grafana keeping an eye on all of it. It even doubles as a room speaker over AirPlay.

When the existing tools don't fit, I build my own: a release picker for Radarr, MCP servers that let AI agents use my knowledge base, and a Windows audio sender to replace a driver whose certificate expired. I also enjoy Proxmox, Terraform, and Ansible, because why do something manually when you can spend three hours automating it?
