About this site
Eremie HQ is my personal homepage and the home for the small tools I build for myself. I made it look like a late-90s computer on purpose — partly nostalgia, partly because a personal site should be fun. The whole thing is a faux operating system: open windows, dig through My Computer, read the readme.
| Frontend | Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript, hand-rolled Windows 98 / Netscape CSS |
| Shell | A bespoke window manager — draggable windows, Start menu, taskbar, boot screen |
| Hosting | A small self-managed ARM box, nginx + systemd |
| Edge | Cloudflare (DNS + proxy); private tools gated by Cloudflare Access |
| Tools | Python pipelines behind a same-origin BFF |
| Built with | GitHub Copilot CLI, Notepad-energy, far too much coffee |
I'm a Technical Support Engineer at GitHub (Microsoft)by day — one of two EMEA-timezone API specialists, helping developers with the REST & GraphQL APIs, Copilot, Actions, and the rest of the platform. By night I build real-time systems, data pipelines, and ML models, and self-host the lot.
