About Me

Stefy Lanza

Hi! I'm Stefy Lanza, a technology enthusiast, astronomer, maker, and advocate for human rights and LGBTQAI+ visibility.

My Journey

Nexlab is my personal space where I share my journey through technology, science, and advocacy. This site is a reflection of my evolution — from my early experiments with Linux and open source software to my current focus on creating inclusive spaces in tech and beyond.

My Interests

  • Technology & Programming — Software development, Linux system administration, cybersecurity, and open source contributions
  • Astronomy — Astrophotography, celestial observation, telescope projects, and the wonder of the cosmos
  • 3D Printing & Electronics — DIY projects, PCB design, hardware hacking, and maker culture
  • LGBTQAI+ Advocacy — Transgender rights, visibility, and creating inclusive spaces in tech
  • Human Rights — Social justice, equality, and using technology for positive change
  • Open Source — Free software, community collaboration, and democratizing technology

Featured Projects

Over the years I've worked on various open source and hardware projects. Some notable ones include:

Rasky — Open Source KVM over IP

A Raspberry Pi-based KVM over IP solution that allows remote control of computers. Perfect for server management and remote work scenarios. View on GitLab

Skylive Network

A network of remotely accessible telescopes for astronomy enthusiasts. I contributed to the software infrastructure and captured many astrophotography images.

Recent Work (2024-2025)

I'm currently working on several projects including:

  • TransTech Initiative — Creating resources and community for transgender individuals in technology
  • Open Source Advocacy — Contributing to LGBTQAI+ visibility in open source communities
