Independent developer · product builder · systems thinker

I turn complex systemsinto useful products.

I’m Liam Jayden. I build independent apps, self-hosted systems, and open-source infrastructure tools—shaped by real problems and designed to stay understandable.

Nimbus Direct

A self-hosted infrastructure control layer that gives Proxmox VE a focused customer experience—without node agents, shared credentials, or a resource pool per customer.

Explore Nimbus Download the app View source Open live demo

Nimbus sits between people and Proxmox. Operators decide exactly which virtual machines or containers a customer can see—and which actions that person can perform. The result is a calm, permission-aware experience on the web and iPhone, while Proxmox remains the source of truth.

  • Direct VM & LXC assignments
  • Granular customer permissions
  • Operations, maintenance & support
  • Console, snapshots, ISO & API access

How the system fits together

No node agent. No customer Proxmox credentials.

Recent builds

Recent ideas, built into real tools.

Two new self-hosted projects grew out of the same habit: notice friction in my own workflow, then build the smallest product that removes it.

Self-hosted dashboard

Vaultboard

TypeScript · Docker

A private dashboard for organizing servers, services, applications, endpoints, tags, and the operational notes that usually end up scattered across tools.

Currently building

In development

Digital Glovebox

Important documents, organized around time—not folders.

About

Curiosity, then craft.

I like systems that make difficult things feel obvious.

My work moves between infrastructure, self-hosting, apps, APIs, automation, and product design. I usually start with a real problem in my own environment, understand it end to end, then build the smallest system that solves it properly.

Music and DJing are the counterweight: another way of arranging complex pieces until they feel natural.
