A running list of projects, experiments, and rabbit holes. Most live in private repos — a few are public. Newest first.
A full self-hosted infrastructure stack across five repos — Terraform for Proxmox VM provisioning, Ansible bootstrap for RKE2 and K3s, Kubernetes workload manifests with Helm, Coder workspace templates, and a parallel Windows track for RDS, AD, and SQL. The thing I keep coming back to and rebuilding properly.
A personal project-management system I’ve been iterating on since 2024 — the C# API and process services (Blue, BluePM), a Python rewrite of the CLI (BluePM_Python), and an MCP server exposing 44 operations to Claude.
A growing collection: claude-proxy (a local proxy for routing and instrumenting Claude API calls), claude-plugins, and claude-code-2.1.88 — 1,906 TypeScript files recovered from the published source map of Claude Code v2.1.88, kept for study.
A small hardware voice-assistant setup on Distiller hardware: a Python assistant pipeline plus a one-button speaker for triggering it.
Python daemons for the R930 chassis and MD1200 disk shelf — temperature-based PWM curves so the rack doesn’t sound like a jet engine. Successor to an earlier shell-script version (iDracFanController, 2024).
A JavaScript layer over my Obsidian vault for capture, search, and cross-linking — the latest in a long line of attempts (see Obsidian, Obsidian-Blue, obsidian-workspace).
A TypeScript admin portal for a Discord community I help run.
Personal documentation site built with MDX — vanvonlj/documentation-site.
TypeScript dashboards for tracking work — the GSD dashboard surfaces phase state across multiple in-flight projects.
A small JS tool for sanity-checking chemistry inputs. (chemcheck.app)
tacoristas — TS exploration. aquarium-tools — JS utilities for the home aquarium. keep-clean — Python tidying script. how-it-works — TS explainer site. ollama-stack — local LLM compose stack. interactive-shell — terminal experiment. cloudflare-tracking-proxy — a JS Cloudflare Worker. spinner-site — small JS site. esp32-agent-example — public fork, agent patterns on ESP32.
Several swings at game projects — a JavaScript text RPG, a GDScript (Godot) RPG, and a Python-served games site.
A C# desktop tool for composing charts — extended through early 2026.
Tooling around the TurtleWoW private server — a C# launcher (TurtleWoW) and a Python crafting calculator (wow-crafting-calculator). Plus public forks of useful addons: aux-addon and cursive-wotl.
The first homelab iteration before the 2026 rebuild — homepage, traefik, HelmCharts, DockerCompose, Flux-Production, devops.
A TypeScript launcher UI for personal services.
Fabric mod work — community blocklist management.
personal-dashboard — Task and scheduling experiment. TaskManager — Task and scheduling experiment. TaskScheduler — Task and scheduling experiment. AspNetCoreQuartz — Task and scheduling experiment. fsh-starter — Task and scheduling experiment. gardinum-obsidiana — Obsidian theme in SCSS. MMOHelper — HTML utility. PPMI_Notes — Notes repo.
Where the Blue project-management story started — C# API services (Blue, BluePM) that the later MCP server and CLI rewrites are built on.
JavaScript and GDScript takes on a personal task manager — the GDScript version was an experiment in using Godot as a desktop app shell.
A C# MMO experiment — networked game systems for fun.
Shell scripts driving iDRAC fan control via IPMI — predecessor of the 2026 Python rewrite.
Early infra automation — foundational work that led to the 2025-2026 homelab iterations.
Pixel-art experiments — creative work exploring digital art and game assets.
Docker Compose stacks — early container orchestration work before moving to Kubernetes.
GitOps trial — exploring Flux for declarative cluster management.
Senior capstone project at school — an HTML/JS distance-calculation tool.
react-test and react-tick-tack-toe — first steps in React.
A C# alumni database — early student work.
