Welcome to BensTechLab!

Hi, I'm Ben. I'm a software architect and developer who loves all things tech. When I'm not at work I like to play with computer tech, home automation and video production.

Particularly since March 2020, I've been working on my homelab and home office desk setup to enable a more permanent work from home situation.
