Welcome to The Knowledge Stack

Hey, I'm Justin.

This blog is going to be my place to document my journey through computer science, homelabbing, and random projects. Right now, most of my time is split between:

• My CS courses: distributed computing, computer networks, computer organization & assembly, and discrete math.
• Tinkering in my homelab: learning how to firewall properly, running game servers, and exploring DNS.
• Miscellaneous experiments: working on this blog, hacking together random code, or just brain-rotting with videos.

I don’t have a set formula for what I’ll post. Some entries might be detailed guides, others quick notes about what I learned (or broke). Think of it as a public lab notebook and a peek into my brain. I’ll also drop “notes to future me” when I fix something, in case it helps someone else (or just saves me from re-breaking it).

Why am I doing this?

I wanted a way to track my own progress and also push myself to think more deeply about topics I find interesting. Writing here helps with both. I also want to share things I wish I had found sooner so others don’t have to dig as much. And finally, I’d like to connect with others in the same field, grow my network, and hopefully find a job that I really enjoy someday.

I hope people find some of this interesting but, even if it’s just me and my future self reading, it’ll be worth it.

More posts will be coming soon!
