Turning ideas into reality

I'm Nirmal Himansha, a web developer and technology enthusiast with a knack for creating practical, tech-driven solutions. My work often blends functionality with innovation, especially on my personal website, where I showcase my favorite projects.

Beyond web development, I'm deeply passionate about homelab setups. I run various self-hosted services like Jellyfin, AdGuard, Home Assistant, Immich, and Pi-hole, constantly experimenting with new ways to optimize my digital environment. This hands-on approach allows me to explore cutting-edge tech while continuously learning and improving my setup.

My journey in IT Administration started in 2021, and since then, I have had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects. From installing OS to managing whole IT infrastructure, I thrive on turning ideas into reality.
