About
Hi, I’m Adam Piontek—a suburban cis white kid from Minnesota who migrated to New York City at the turn of the millennium.
A professional computer nerd, I also enjoy hiking, anthropology, history, a bit of TTRPG and pro wrestling now and then, and a bit of the spiritual and philosophical.
Life goes on, and I get weirder. Seems to me everyone does.

I tinker in my free time. This website, built with Astro, is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. However, I also “self-host” several services for myself, some at RackNerd and some at home on some modest low-power devices. These include Shift73k (a shift-worker schedule-helper I created for my wife using Phoenix), and various other ready-made services like Miniflux, Mealie, Wallabag, Linkding, Filebrowser, Forgejo, homepage, Guacamole, Home Assistant, Magicmirror, Plex, Calibre-Web, and BicBucStriim. Among others… Additionally, the home network is all OpenWRT, on both GL-MT6000 and ZyXEL NWA50AX devices. Fun stuff!
