Home automation tinkerer, DIY electronics builder, and vehicle mechanic — this is where I keep track of what I'm building.
I'm Mark — I spend my free time building and tinkering, whether that's wiring up a smart home from scratch, soldering together a new sensor project, or working on my Jeep in the driveway. This site is where I share what I'm working on.
Building out a full Home Assistant setup — voice control, presence detection with mmWave sensors, and automations that actually make life easier.
ESPHome, sensor integrations, and hands-on builds — figuring out how things work by taking them apart and putting them back together better.
Keeping a 2008 Jeep Wrangler JK running and improving it one project at a time — diagnostics, repairs, and upgrades.
Running my own home lab — automation, document management, and more — instead of handing that data to someone else's cloud.
A growing set of self-hosted services running on my own hardware — automation, document management, and workflow tools, all kept behind authentication rather than exposed to the open internet.
A few of the services running on my hardware. Most sit behind a login of their own.
