DESCRIPTION:A year ago I wouldn't have imagined I'd be running my own fiber
  through my walls\, self-hosting AI models\, and managing it all with decl
 arative infrastructure — at home. In the age of AI\, having a consequenc
 e-free environment to build\, break\, and learn has become a real career a
 dvantage. \n\nThis talk walks through how I approached building a homelab 
 from scratch: networking\, hardware\, DevOps principles applied at home\, 
 and running open source AI tools that directly sharpen my skills at an AI 
 startup. Along the way\, I reclaimed something that's easy to forget when 
 everything lives in someone else's cloud — my family's data is ours agai
 n. \n\nYou don't need a big budget or a rack full of servers. You need a f
 ramework\, some curiosity\, and a willingness to pull some cable.
