= About Me =

Software / Cloud !DevSecOps Engineer

For the past five years I've been hooked on '''Linux from Scratch (LFS)''' and '''Beyond Linux from Scratch (BLFS)'''.  At first, the goal was to '''manually''' build my own Linux distribution by following the LFS and BLFS documentation.  That project evolved over time — I now have Jenkins pipelines that '''automate''' the build of my distribution in a few hours, featuring a '''Hyprland''' frontend.  I run this LFS/BLFS-based system natively and plan to use it as my main platform for future Linux kernel development.

= Goals =

I'm currently focused on gaining a deeper understanding of the '''Linux kernel''' — not only the code itself, but also the community workflow, review process, and contribution practices that surround it.  My long-term goal is to start contributing meaningfully to the Linux kernel project while documenting what I learn along the way.

= System Details =

 * '''Base/Native:''' LFS w/pieces of BLFS 
 * '''Window Manager:''' Hyprland
 * '''Tools:''' GDB, QEMU, Vim, Git, Mutt, Procmail, Fetchmail, and Sendmail

= Interests =

  * '''Linux:''' LFS/BLFS; Hyprland; Linux Kernel: development, process/workflow, debugging, internals, security
  * '''Cloud:''' Infrastructure, security
  * '''!DevSecOps:''' practices 
  * '''Other:''' Automated build systems, Opensource
