Hi! My name is Nolan Casey. This website is developed and hosted by me, all on my own hardware! I made it to serve a couple of purposes. <br><br>
First, I wanted a hub for all of my self-hosted services. Rather than remembering port numbers and IPs, I figured it would be easier
to set up a reverse proxy with a website with links to everything. <br><br>
Second, I wanted a place for recruiters to see what I can actually do. That is the major reason for this about page and the portfolio page.

<p class="right">
I am a computer science major and will be graduating from Michigan Tech in December of 2025. I live in Ithaca, Michigan, also known as
the big corn field in the middle of Michigan. I am a pretty big nerd, considering my hobbies are programming, video games, D&D, and
managing linux servers and services, but I also enjoy hiking and camping. <br><br>
I have worked in IT for about 3 years, from both high school and college, and I have had 3 software development internships at Nexteer
Automotive. I also have an undergraduate research position working on augmented reality keyboards. For more specifics, see my

Many of the services I have running are not self-explanatory by their names, and I also want to give credit to those who made them,
so here I will cover the different services I host. <br><br>
<a href="https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Audiobookshelf</a> is one of the few self-explanatory
services here. It is a bookshelf for audiobooks. It has a ton of features and a mobile app, so if you have audiobooks that you want to
host, I highly recommend this. <br><br>
<a href="https://gitea.nolancasey.click" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gitea</a> is a self-hosted github alternative. It focuses on
being lightweight and simple to use. It is what I use for my personal repositories. If you want to browse my repositories, click on the 'Explore'
option in the Gitea menu. This will show all of my public repositories. <br><br>
<a href="https://github.com/immich-app/immich" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Immich</a> is a self-hosted alternative to Google
Photos, and does a really good job at it. Both the UI and featureset are almost identical to Google's solution, but this one is controlled
by you. <br><br>
<a href="https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jellyfin</a> is a self-hosted streaming service. It
supports things like movies, shows, music, and more. It is really useful for backing up your DvD and CD collection, and lets you access them
anywhere. <br><br>
<a href="https://github.com/nextcloud" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nextcloud</a> is almost a google services replacement. I use
it for hosting large files to send to people, but it comes built-in with things like folder sync, calendar, photos, and a lot more. There is
also a plugin manager to add even more features than it has by default.
