Home Lab
Fedora · Containers
Self-hosted digital hub
A Fedora-based home server running media, file sync, photo management, and a private AI stack — all reverse-proxied with TLS, VPN-secured, and monitored.
Building reliable systems for the next decade
Hi, I’m Emiliano Aguero
designing, automating, and securing modern infrastructure.
I help people and teams turn messy environments into resilient, well-documented systems — from home labs and self-hosted stacks to cloud-backed services and automation pipelines.
Currently exploring: self-hosted AI, secure remote access, and sustainable digital infrastructure.
Profile
About Emiliano
I enjoy taking complex systems apart, understanding every layer, and rebuilding them into something fast, secure, and easy to live with.
I like working where hardware, networks, and software all meet: servers, containers, VPNs, media stacks, and the everyday tools people rely on. I’m not interested in throw-away setups — I prefer solutions that can be explained, documented, and trusted.
Most of my work blends experimentation with structure: I continuously test new tools and patterns, then keep what actually makes systems simpler, safer, and more enjoyable to use. Whether it’s a home lab, a small business environment, or a personal automation project, I care about the people on the other side of the screen.
At the end of the day, I want technology to feel like an ally — invisible when it should be, powerful when it needs to be, and always under your control.
Approach
Infrastructure as a living system
I treat every environment as something that will evolve: clear naming, sensible defaults, documented decisions, and built-in room to grow.
Strengths
From low-level details to big-picture flow
I enjoy debugging kernel quirks as much as mapping a full stack, and I’m comfortable translating between technical and non-technical perspectives.
Working style
Calm, methodical, and transparent
I share progress early, explain trade-offs, and leave behind notes that make the next change easier, not harder.
Selected Work
Featured Projects
A few representative examples of how I design, connect, and harden systems around real-world needs.
Networking
WireGuard · RPi
Secure remote access mesh
A Raspberry Pi–backed VPN gateway that links laptops, phones, and servers into a single, encrypted private network accessible from anywhere.
Automation
Linux · Scripting
Data hygiene & backups
A set of repeatable workflows to organize drives, deduplicate media, generate safety logs, and ship encrypted backups off-site.
How I Can Help
Services & Capabilities
I’m most effective when I can look at the full picture: hardware, network, operating systems, applications, and how people actually use them.
System design & rebuilds
From a single machine to a small fleet, I help design or re-architect setups so they’re predictable, documented, and easier to maintain.
Networking & remote access
I design VPN setups, routing rules, and DNS workflows that keep access simple for you and difficult for everyone else.
Automation & tooling
Scripts and small tools that eliminate repetitive tasks, reduce risk, and keep your environment in a good state.
Feedback
Testimonials
A few words from people who have seen the before and after of their setups.
“Emiliano turned our collection of ad-hoc services into a clean, documented system. The best part is that months later, everything still feels stable and understandable.”
“He didn’t just set up a VPN — he explained how it worked, why it was configured that way, and how to recover if something went wrong. That peace of mind is huge.”
“Our backup story went from ‘I think it’s fine’ to a clearly mapped, tested process. Emiliano left behind scripts, notes, and a routine we could actually follow.”
Next Step
Let’s Talk
If you have a system that needs to be redesigned, a setup you’d like to document, or an experiment you want to make safer, I’d be happy to hear about it.
Tell me a bit about your current environment, what you’d like it to feel like instead, and any constraints you’re working with. I’ll reply with a calm, honest view of what’s possible and how we might approach it.
