Introduction
In this post I'm sharing 3 Ansible playbooks I use to manage my VPS servers. I won't go into great detail on tasks here — if you're new to Ansible check out my previous post and video first.
The three playbooks covered today:
basic-secure.yml — automate VPS hardening
add-vps-user.yml — semi-automated user creation
remove-vps-user.yml — completely remove a user and their privileges

Lumen — Arizona In-Home Caregivers
Lumen started with a real problem close to home.
My brother lives in Arizona and has been involved in managing in-home caregiving operations where many parts of the process were handled manually — coordinating caregivers, clients, schedules, documents, visits, and communication.
When I saw the Bubble Free-For-All challenge, I decided to turn that real-world workflow into something better: a single operational platform for managing in-home care.
That became Lumen — Arizona In-Home Caregivers.
Lumen brings families, caregivers, and administrators into one connected platform.
For Families:
Families can submit care requests and intake information, view their care schedule, receive updates, and communicate with the care team.
For Caregivers:
Caregivers have their own portal where they can view assigned clients and shifts, manage required documents, check in and out of visits using GPS, and submit visit notes.
For Admins:
Admins get the operational command center — reviewing caregiver applications, managing documents, onboarding clients, assigning caregivers, creating shifts, managing schedules, reviewing visit logs, and communicating with families and caregivers.
The goal was not to build another informational healthcare website. I wanted to turn a manual caregiving operation into a connected digital workflow.
I built Lumen in Bubble with role-based access, database-driven workflows, scheduling, GPS visit tracking, document management, messaging, and separate experiences for each user type.
What started as a problem my brother was managing manually became an opportunity to build something that could eventually help care agencies anywhere manage their operations more efficiently.
