Digital Javelina is the brainchild of Michael Henry, a board-certified pediatric hematologist/oncologist in clinical practice for over 20 years who, somewhere between fighting childhood cancers and navigating clinical research at a global biopharmaceutical company, caught an incurable case of the homelab bug.

On this blog, you'll find deep dives into everything from Proxmox clusters and Docker orchestration to Claude Code wizardry and MCP server integrations — all written by someone who believes the best way to understand a system is to build it yourself, break it a few times, and then write the tutorial you wish you'd had. Whether it's wrangling n8n automations, taming Tailscale networks, or experimenting with the latest LLMs, the goal is always the same: practical, hands-on knowledge for curious builders who'd rather self-host than subscribe.
