Nas Ark

My home lab and control room — where hardware meets software to build the geek tech projects I enjoy most.

Systems

Self-Hosted Software

Personal tools and self-hosted apps I build because I can — half-finished ideas, small services, and whatever's currently running on the home server.

Physical Computing

Hardware and code combined — a small rack of Raspberry Pis, sensors, and boards I keep rebuilding whenever I learn a new trick worth wiring in.

AI & Quantum Experiments

Small models and agent side-projects, alongside a recent quantum programming rabbit hole — built for fun, the opposite pace of the day job.

Offensive Security

Penetration testing and network security on my own turf — VLANs, device poking, and enough curiosity to keep my home network honest.

Gear

The gear and material I actually use in the lab.

Live experiment: a portrait in 150 triangles

Simulated annealing, evolving 150 translucent triangles toward my own portrait, one accepted or rejected mutation at a time — the same idea from this essay, running live instead of just described. Hit run and watch it anneal.
