Hi! I'm Dennis Mellican "meltaxa", and I like making useful and entertaining things - most recently on a Raspberry Pi.

My hobby is currently driven by making things for my 7 year old who loves LEGO and technology, which features in the Musicfig project. Currently my son's Minifigures are playing:


Around the home, I use technology to improve home automation and monitoring with the Solariot and Troupe projects. With my Solariot project you can monitor home energy usage in real-time such as this live example of my place:


To keep my projects safe in the cloud, I use my SlackView project to monitor the hackers who constantly lay siege to my servers. These bad actors aren't from Hollywood:


This is where I need your help. By becoming a sponsor, you will be allowing me to focus on these project as a priority, and spend much more time on it that I ever could as a hobby.

2 sponsors have funded meltaxa’s work.
