Gareth Evans

Tech tinkerer · Qualicum Beach

Hi, I'm Gareth — a tech tinkerer based in Qualicum Beach, Canada. I write about homelab, self-hosting, networking, and BJJ.

By day I work in IT infrastructure; by night I tinker with homelabs, self-hosting, and networking gear. When I'm not at a keyboard, you'll find me on the mats training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

What I Write About

  • Homelab & Self-Hosting — Docker, Linux, networking, automation
  • Web Development — Mostly frontend, sometimes fullstack
  • BJJ — Training logs, technique notes, competition prep
  • Productivity — ADHD strategies, PKM workflows, tools that work

Elsewhere

  • GitHub — Code and projects
