Projects

Aperture (2014-Present)
https://www.aperture.akron.oh.us/

• A collection of computers and computing services. The primary of which is the ocelot node, which runs Aperture’s master DNS, web, e-mail, shell, and file servers.
• It initially started as an unnamed home-hosted shell system in 2014 that was powered by a HP laptop. In 2024, it was then moved to real Dell server hardware. For a brief moment in 2025, it was moved to a data center, but quickly went back to the home server for improved reliability, stability, speeds, and costs. Going back to physical at-home hardware greatly benefiting myself and especially Aperture’s users.
