About this site

hey, my name is Dennis Agyepong

Welcome to my digital playground. By day, I work as a Cybersecurity Analyst, defending networks and analyzing threats. By night (and weekends), I channel that same passion into breaking, building, and securing my own infrastructure right here in my homelab.

I am a staunch advocate for FOSS (Free and Open Source Software), digital sovereignty, and the "learn by doing" philosophy. This website and the services running behind it are the direct results of that obsession.

What I Do & What I Build:

My philosophy is simple: If you don't own your data, someone else does. I don't just analyze security threats; I actively build and secure my own infrastructure. I am deeply passionate about self-hosting and infrastructure-as-code, moving away from big-tech ecosystems to run my own self-contained digital world.

Here is a snapshot of my technical playground:

Cybersecurity: Threat analysis, vulnerability management, and hardening systems against modern attack vectors.
Containerization & Orchestration: Designing, deploying, and managing self-hosted services using Docker and Kubernetes.
FOSS Advocacy: Testing, contributing to, and championing open-source alternatives to proprietary software.

Why I Self-Host:

For me, self-hosting isn't just a hobby—it's a commitment to data privacy and continuous learning. There is a unique satisfaction in taking a bare-metal server (or a cluster of single-board computers) and turning it into an enterprise-grade home lab.

Whether it's configuring a Kubernetes cluster to handle my personal cloud storage or securing a Dockerized reverse proxy, I love the challenge of breaking things, fixing them, and making them bulletproof.

Let's Connect:

When I'm not configuring YAML files or monitoring network traffic, I'm usually hanging out in the FOSS community or looking for the next cool self-hosted project to spin up.
