About this site

Welcome to the blog.

This site is a curated mix of personal tech projects, professional insights, and a few of the things that keep me creatively fueled outside of work—because life doesn’t stop at the terminal prompt.

My name is Jerome, and I work in IT, where I specialize in infrastructure, automation, and cloud systems. I started this blog to document my experiments—whether I’m configuring a Docker container in my home lab, building out automation flows with n8n and Okta, or exploring better ways to host and secure self-built tools. I believe in knowledge sharing, learning by doing, and constantly leveling up.

But this site isn’t just for documentation. It’s also a space where I explore things that fuel my curiosity and creativity—like learning new languages, writing about K-pop and digital culture, and diving into the occasional psychological horror movie that refuses to leave my head.

Topics I Cover

🛠️ Technology & Self-Hosting

Tutorials, setups, and lessons learned from my homelab. From Docker and Kubernetes to NGINX Proxy Manager and Ghost, expect honest breakdowns of what worked—and what didn’t.

🧠 Automation & Productivity

How I build systems that work for me, not against me. Whether it’s scripting daily tasks or building low-code solutions with tools like n8n, I’m always chasing smoother workflows.

🌏 Language Learning

I’m studying Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin. I share updates, resources, and mindset strategies to stay consistent while balancing a busy tech life.

🎶 Culture, Music & More

K-pop, games, movies—when something inspires or entertains me, it’ll probably end up here.

Why I Built This

Because I wanted a space that’s fully mine.

No algorithms. No clutter. Just a clean, fast, self-hosted site where I can post what I want, when I want. I’m using Ghost for its speed and flexibility, hosted via Docker in my home lab. It’s part personal project, part digital garden.

If you’re into technical problem-solving, self-hosted tools, cross-cultural learning, or just want to see what someone does with too many ideas and a well-maintained homelab… stick around!
