Engineering The Future
ArgoBox is a constellation of systems pushing the boundaries of homelab infrastructure. From distributed build swarms to multi-cluster Kubernetes, I transform ambitious ideas into production reality.
The Mission
I built ArgoBox because I wanted to prove that real infrastructure doesn't require a data center budget. 13 systems across two sites, a 66-core distributed build swarm, 252TB of storage — all running from a house and my dad's place 40 miles away. It's a production environment and a research lab where every dumb idea gets a fair shot at becoming something useful.
Core Capabilities
Kubernetes Orchestration
Multi-cluster K3s deployments with GitOps-driven configuration and automated scaling.
Platform Engineering
Custom developer portals, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure automation workflows.
Distributed Computing
Build swarm architecture for parallel compilation across heterogeneous hardware.
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform, Ansible, and custom automation for reproducible environments.
The Operator Daniel LaForce
Infrastructure engineer and automation enthusiast with a passion for building systems that scale. From custom Gentoo distributions to distributed build systems, every project is an opportunity to push the boundaries of what's possible in a homelab environment.
