RiverSentinel was designed for environmental monitoring teams that need faster incident detection than manual sampling can provide, but also need evidence quality high enough for response workflows.
This project started with a practical question: can a small home lab run like a disciplined microgrid instead of a set of independent devices fighting each other?
CNCSense was built to solve a common manufacturing pain: legacy machines fail without enough warning, and maintenance teams are forced into reactive firefighting.
BatGuard is an urban biodiversity platform designed for one hard reality: ecological signals are noisy, and policy action requires credible evidence.
AquaForge started as a home-scale aquaponics controller and evolved into a real digital twin platform. The core idea was to move from reactive control to predictive operation: detect chemistry drift early and simulate intervention outcomes.
Frostwatch is one of the most practical systems I have built: a distributed frost-risk platform for vineyards where timing matters more than dashboards. If you detect frost risk 20 minutes too late, the damage is already done.
Docker Compose is ideal for Raspberry Pi homelabs, but many setups become fragile because of ad-hoc service definitions and weak data persistence planning.
A long retrospective on building a reliable Proxmox homelab cluster with practical lessons on storage, backups, networking, and operations.
