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:
