Student • Computer Enthusiast • Server & Linux Nerd

I like computers. I build them, break them, and run servers on them.

I'm a student at Sayreville War Memorial High School who is really into how computers work. I spend a lot of my free time building PCs, running Linux, and learning by experimenting on my own hardware. I like figuring things out hands-on, even if that means breaking things first and fixing them later.

About

Learning by building, breaking, and fixing

I run my own server called Harvey V3, which I use mainly for self-hosting and learning. It runs Linux, and most services are managed with Docker and Portainer, which keeps everything organized and easy to manage. Running my own server has taught me how systems work, how to troubleshoot problems, and how to keep things running reliably. I prefer hosting things myself instead of relying on external services.

What I’m into right now

Building and upgrading PCs Running and configuring Linux Learning how operating systems work Tuning performance and stability

Server / Lab

Harvey V3

My home server where I self-host services and experiment with Linux. I lean on Docker and Portainer to keep things organized while I tinker, monitor, and occasionally break things on purpose to learn.
