Event Horizon Labs

Brand

The Event Horizon Labs project is something I created to bring research and innovation to my friends. Being in IT and physics I met many people who wanted to learn new technologies. It is my philosphy that the proper way to learn new technologies is to build it yourself and see what happens. When you build it yourself not only do you intimately learn by testing your own capabiltiies, but deploying any backend software or platform takes finesse. Testing environments, production, CI/CD, DevOps, these things are now the name of the game for R&D of any service in every industry. It is my goal to provide a fun "laboratory" where those who are interested can test out creating, building, innovating, and more.

Homelab

The build of my homelab was the first step in honoring the above committment. Years ago for the first time ever I built a server-grade PC which dual booted Windows and Ubuntu Linux. From there I began customizing the OS, cutting off portions of the 4TB and spreading it across docker. From there I started testing and hosting open source software behind docker containers including a file server, nginx proxy server, apache web server, and my jupyterlab. My JupyterLab service is my most prized possession as it is where I create and store my python programming for AI/ML and data science purposes. Including the code from my many physics courses, which I pushed to Github. The purpose of the lab was for me to test out the full scope of deploying software from the physical to the frontend. This website is a direct product of this experimentation: a JAMstack deployment of front-end software with cloudflare managed API's to other services. It's not as if I ever got paid to do this work, it's just fun learning new things.
