Callum Griffin.

Senior 2nd Line IT Support Technician && homelab enthusiast

I keep systems running by day, and run a homelab of my own by night — virtualising with Proxmox, automating the house, and self-hosting whatever I can get my hands on.

A bit about me

By day I'm a Senior 2nd Line IT Support Technician. I solve the problems that don't have easy answers.

When I clock off my homelab takes over. Proxmox server, some VMs and containers, a bit of home automation, and whatever self-hosted services I've decided to build. Partly because they're useful, mostly because I enjoy the tinkering.

If something can be automated or left to look after itself, I'm already working on it.

$ ls ~/interests/

A few things I'm into

  1. IT support & systems

    Troubleshooting software, systems and networks — and keeping the people behind them happy and productive.

  2. Homelab & self-hosting

    A Proxmox server full of virtual machines and containers, running a growing stack of self-hosted services.

  3. Home automation

    Sensors, schedules and a little scripting to make the house quietly look after itself.

Say hello
