Hi, I'm Dani.

I'm a -year-old software architect, entrepreneur, and self-hosting homelab enthusiast living between Norway and the US. I speak English, Norwegian, Swedish, some Danish, and I'm still learning Spanish! I also run a solo technology business alongside my day job.

[ Enterprise Homelab & AI Infrastructure ]
My homelab runs on a Dell PowerEdge R730 server managed through Unraid OS and iDRAC8/IPMI. Hardware specs include dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs, 128GB DDR4 RAM, an 8x 4TB HDD array totalling 32TB with a 1TB NVMe SSD cache, and two NVIDIA Tesla P40 24GB GPUs. I self-host local LLMs (Gemma 4, Mistral Nemo, and Qwen) using llama.cpp, Ollama, Lossless-Claw, and OpenClaw, while experimenting with OpenCode and Hermes. My containerized Docker stack includes Plex, WireGuard VPN, Immich photo storage, RustDesk Server, and Nginx Proxy Manager for my personal domains.

[ Workstation & Audio Gear ]
My most used rig is built around a 2021 Razer Blade 14 (AMD Ryzen / NVIDIA RTX 3070 Laptop GPU) paired with a 27" Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 (1440p @ 360Hz). Audio and input gear includes a MOTU M2 USB audio interface, a Shure SM7B dynamic microphone on a Blue Compass boom arm, FiiO FH3 IEMs (with the balanced silicone tips), a Keychron K2, a Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro mouse, and a Flydigi Vader 4 Pro controller. I am using an iPhone 17 Pro Max, AirPods 4 with ANC, and a Bose SoundLink Max speaker.

[ Gaming & Esports ]
I play Fortnite on PC in Zero Build mode using stretched resolution because sometimes I just want to sit down and shoot without building. I also used to play Apex Legends, and I love administering and hosting modded or vanilla Minecraft servers, especially the All The Mods series. My most beloved game will always be Pokémon GO; I participate in local raids and community Wayfarer nominations as I walk and discover interesting points of interest.

[ Pokémon TCG & Content Creation ]
I actively collect, open, and sell Pokémon TCG booster packs, focusing on both Japanese and English packs. I create short-form TikTok content featuring pack openings, tech hardware breakdowns, and daily vlogs.

[ Personal Interests, Fitness & Life ]
Away from screens, I enjoy thrifting, building LEGO, I love designing and 3D printing, and exploring Carl Jung's psychological theories. I listen to history, crime, and poetry. My home fitness routine in the garage centers on adjustable dumbbells, an incline bench, and a Kayoba rowing machine, supported by daily wellness supplements (Vitamin D, Magnesium, Zinc, Ashwagandha, and creatine among others).
