A workspace for the person
keeping everything running.

Clients, machines, browser SSH, database management, and work logs—together in one self-hosted sysadmin dashboard.

Node.jsSSHPostgreSQL · MySQL · MariaDB
What we've built
  • Client and machine records with work logs and audit history.
  • Browser terminals and database browsing with SQL execution.
  • Customer database provisioning and scheduled encrypted backups.
  • Closed sign-in, workspace permissions, and user administration.

Current scope: an operational workspace. Subscription billing and public signup are future work.

ONE WORKSPACEFewer moving parts.
002Workflow prototype

Data Center
Delivery Hub

Connect equipment, drawings, network maps, field work, and commissioning evidence in one project workspace.

3D equipment editorDelivery workflows
What we've built
  • Shared equipment records across schematics, network views, and a 3D model.
  • Work packages, readiness gates, sign-off, and handover evidence.
  • Project permissions and a guided live presentation.

A working demonstration foundation; organization-specific validation is still needed before rollout.

003Desktop tool

AutoABB

Bring device discovery, panel blueprints, and ABB D-50 configuration into a guided desktop workflow.

PythonSerial automation
What we've built
  • Connected-module discovery and blueprint matching.
  • Configuration previews, template uploads, and device ID assignment.
  • Deployment reports, circuit readings, and step-by-step guidance.

Hardware operations depend on the connected equipment and the reviewed panel configuration.

004Tool collection

Commissioning
Tools

A collection of practical utilities for configuring devices and supporting data center commissioning work.

Raptor CortexMoxaEPMS
What we've built
  • Raptor Cortex configuration utilities.
  • Moxa configuration tooling.
  • An EPMS commissioning dashboard in a shared project collection.

A field-tool codebase with workflows tied to specific equipment.

02 / WEB PLATFORMS

A place to learn. A place to grow.

3 PROJECTS
005Working app

ProjectPy Python Path

Learn programming by writing and running code, with structured lessons, guided exercises, and saved progress.

ReactDjangoIn-browser Python
What we've built
  • Seven authored Python foundation lessons, debugging practice, and a capstone.
  • Browser code execution with run, stop, and reset controls.
  • Accounts, progress tracking, and an editorial admin.
  • A course catalog spanning Python, Ladder Logic, and Structured Text.

Advanced tracks remain upcoming. Payment integration is implemented but not activated for live purchases.

More than ideas in a notebook.

Tools that connect.

Browser SSH, database management, device configuration, and connected commissioning workflows.

Worlds you can play.

Two co-op games with original worlds, shared game state, and packaged Windows builds.

Apps with a purpose.

Learning by doing, recording everyday progress, building communities, and keeping memories.

One project leads to the next.
We're still building.
