I'm Michael Royal, a senior software engineer, content creator, and a Self-Hosting/HomeLab enthusiast. I also create and contribute to many open source projects. I really enjoy building open source software, creating and contributing to communities, teaching others through blog/video content, and helping others via chat/forums.
