Hi, I'm Julia.

Hobbyist Developer, Tinkerer, & Homelab Enthusiast

I build things for fun and utility — from self-hosted media stacks and home automation to web apps that track my reading, habits, and finances. This domain is home base for a growing collection of hobby projects and personal infrastructure running 24/7.

Self-Hosted Apps

Running a personal cloud on my homelab — all services sit behind a reverse proxy with SSL termination, authentication, and regular backups. Because why pay for subscriptions when you can maintain your own infrastructure instead.

My Projects

Things I built to scratch my own itch — practical tools I use in my day-to-day.

Empires & Puzzles Ecosystem
guardiansof.space — a suite of tools built around a mobile game

It started with just a Discord bot. It spiraled into a whole ecosystem of tools — a public website, a hero database, and an AI-powered hero uploader that parses screenshots and writes data to the database automatically.

Claude AI Discord bot NocoDB guardiansof.space
Alliance Website
Public site for the Guardians of Space alliance with member stats and game resources.
guardiansof.space
Hero Database
Database of all E&P heroes with stats, classes, and specials. Used for the Guardians of Space website. Publicly browseable via NocoDB.
db.guardiansof.space
AI Hero Uploader
Upload a hero screenshot, Claude AI reads the stats, and the data lands in the database automatically. This turned what used to be a tedious manual process into a streamlined experience.

Discord Bot
Used to track alliance stats by parsing screenshots of alliance results directly in Discord and sends it to Google Sheets.
