I’ve been building Hey Lorna – My Life OS Server as the central hub for everything I run: my tools, my projects, my automations, and the entire digital skeleton of my freelance ecosystem. It’s where I self-host the services I rely on daily, from project management and content creation tools to development environments and analytics. Over time, it’s evolved into a clean, reliable, and highly structured system that reflects how I work best: organised, efficient, and fully under my control.
What started as a simple VPS experiment has become a long-term project focused on clarity, repeatability, and resilience. I document each rebuild, refine the architecture constantly, and treat the server as both a learning platform and a showcase of the technical standards I bring to client work. Hey Lorna isn’t just a server; it’s the backbone of my workflow and a live demonstration of the kind of thoughtful, well-designed infrastructure I enjoy creating.
As the server matured, it naturally grew into the backbone of my freelance ERP ecosystem. I started connecting the dots between self-hosted apps, business admin, content creation, client management, and automation. Now Hey Lorna holds everything together behind the scenes—deployments, backups, queues, scheduling, email pipelines, analytics, documentation, and the little tools that smooth out the rough edges of day-to-day work. It’s become proof that a one-person operation can run with the polish and efficiency of a proper studio, powered by a stack I’ve built, rebuilt, and understood from the ground up.
