Hi, I'm Jeremy.
I'm an IT person from Kansas City. I'm also a hobbyist maker, designer, and programmer.
I make web sites and web apps, projects with Raspberry Pi computers and microcontrollers, tools for tabletop roleplaying games, posters, zines, and other stuff.
I work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python (and MicroPython), laser engravers, 3D printers, and various other tools, electronic components, software, and hardware.
“Severed Thumb Studio” was the name of my (now defunct) Etsy shop. It is now what I call my makerspace / homelab.
My day job is in IT. I specialize in Linux systems and networking. I have the following professional certifications:
- CompTIA A+
- CompTIA Network+
- CompTIA Security+
- CompTIA Linux+
- Cisco CCST - Networking
- Cisco CCNA
- LPI Linux Essentials

This website
The website you are looking at right now is hosted in my home, on the Raspberry Pi pictured above.
The Pi is a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, with a Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT, running Apache HTTP Server.
This is a simple project, but it required knowledge of the Raspberry Pi hardware, PoE+, Linux (Debian 13 [Trixie], in this case), firewall configuration (UFW), router configuration (port forwarding), Apache, SSH, and the HTML, CSS, and JavaScipt used to build the site itself.
Notes on translations of Gombrich
I am learning German and Spanish. I am currently reading historian E. H. Gombrich's Eine kurze Weltgeschichte für junge Leser in the original German and in its English and Spanish translations, to improve my reading skills in those languages.
I designed and built a site where I can compare the English, German, and Spanish texts, side-by-side, one paragraph at a time, and take notes.
Eventually, this will be hosted on my home server.

Quartermaster
Quartermaster is a full-stack web app for tabletop roleplaying games, such as Dungeons & Dragons. Quartermaster makes it easy for Dungeon Masters and their players to track their inventory and in-game currency.
This project is still a work-in-progress. It has required knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js and NPM, SQL (MariaDB and sqlite), Bash, and more.
