About

Hey! My name is Anthony. I have a passion for automating the mundane in life, and that's the reason this site exists. I want to help others realize that a lot of the repetitive parts of their lives can be setup once and (essentially) forgotten about. Automations break, sure, but the time saved instead of running things manually gives you back some freedom in your life to make memories with your family or explore the world.

This passion of automating my life stems from my love of how technology works. I built my first computer at 12 years old and have built a handful more since then. In 2020, I built a NAS (Network Attached Storage) using Unraid, which led me down a whole rabbit hole of Docker containers and scripts I could use to automate anything and everything I didn't want to do over and over.

This started small, with scripts that would help me clean up obsolete server functions I wasn't using, to now: I automate the small things like turning my lights on when I start streaming on Twitch but now I also run automations that track my job search, dynamically create images for the blog posts on this site so I can share my posts to social media without having to open a single Adobe product (thank god), and much more.

The more I created these automations, the more I fell in love with the process of logically building out my ideas and seeing it to the finish line. I realized that this was something I wanted to do long-term, and as a result, I'm now focusing my job search on automation-centric positions. These guides will not only be helpful to you, but will be helpful to build a portfolio of automations I've built out so I can post them on job boards and prove my expertise.

As much as I think AI and Large Language Models are cool from a technology standpoint, I'm a firm believer that with the current rise of AI, the internet is going to be filled with a lot of untested, inefficient code and finding useful information will be harder. It's important now more than ever to create efficient workflows that will not only make your life easier, but will allow you to have more time in your life to actually do things you love to do.
