Hi, I’m Daniel — IT support veteran, coffee enthusiast, and someone who at some point decided that “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” can’t possibly be the pinnacle of human achievement.

By day I set up new computers, explain how to activate an add-in in Outlook, and answer questions where the answer is usually the same. In the evenings, the world of AI opens up to me — at first hesitantly, then obsessively.

What started as tinkering turned into a rabbit hole with no visible end. First it was initial prompts in ChatGPT — then optimizing my Linux machine, then the mechanics of an online game. At some point I bought a mini PC and installed a Proxmox server on it, complete with a private cloud and Tailscale VPN access from anywhere. Today I run multiple projects and automated workflows that I’ve built using Claude Code CLI, CrewAI, and specialized AI agent teams in their own VM environment.

This blog is my journal. No polished tutorials, no ready-made answers. Just what I’ve actually experienced: the setbacks, the 3am eureka moments, and the strange joy when an agent does exactly what it’s supposed to for the very first time.

If you’re somewhere between “What’s an API key?” and “I’m building my own trading bot” — welcome. You’re not alone.
