ALIENX / ABOUT ME
AlienX started with a smart home, but the technical curiosity behind it kept expanding. This is the story of that journey: Home Assistant, Unraid, networking, and eventually websites, software, and automation.
THE JOURNEY
Where the experimentation started. Smart-home projects opened the door to a much deeper interest in technology.
The journey moved into servers and self-hosted infrastructure, creating a new layer of things to learn and build.
Understanding how everything connects became its own part of the journey: networks, infrastructure, and the systems underneath the services.
The focus expanded into building for the web, with frontend, backend, automation, and interactive experiences becoming the next direction.
THE STORY
Each chapter will become a long-form story using the original AlienX blog-post format. The goal is to document the real projects, lessons, mistakes, and decisions that shaped the work instead of turning the page into a generic résumé.
The first version establishes the structure. The details will be filled in from the actual story as each chapter is written.
