A 1986 Macintosh Plus fully restored (retrobrite, analog board recap, logic board mod, BlueSCSI) and repurposed as a retro AI terminal — serial bridge to a Pi Zero 2W inside a salvaged LC 475 case, running a split-screen VT100 dashboard over RS-422 at 9600 baud.

Mac Plus AI Terminal

A 4-node Proxmox cluster running RKE2 Kubernetes with full GitOps (Argo CD), three-layer backup system (Proxmox + Velero + etcd), Grafana 12 observability, encrypted secrets (SOPS/age), MCP server integration for AI-assisted ops, and SSH-hardened infrastructure — operated as a production-grade learning environment.

Homelab Kubernetes Platform (RKE2 + Rancher)

A LAN-only MapleStory v83 server hosted in my homelab, built for private sessions.
