Smart Home • Home Assistant • UniFi • Software Development
I'm a tech lead, developer, and maker based in West Fargo, ND. I work on point of sale systems professionally and build smart home and homelab projects on the side.
- Home automation projects using Home Assistant, ESP32, and custom integrations
- doorbell-mqtt-unifi – Control UniFi G4 Doorbell animations and sounds locally via MQTT and Home Assistant https://github.com/ChrisHansenTech/doorbell-mqtt-unifi
I write technical posts based on real-world projects and problems I’ve solved:
- Home Assistant & smart home integrations
- UniFi Protect and homelab setups
- Software development and debugging
- Tech leadership and workflows
I also post demos and walkthroughs on YouTube.
- I work from home with my wife, two daughters, and three dogs
- Most of my projects start with “this should be simple…”
