About Me
Software / Cloud DevSecOps Engineer
For the past five years I've been hooked on [https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ Linux From Scratch (LFS)] and [https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ Linux From Scratch (LFS)]. 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 kernel projects while documenting what I learn along the way.

Learning Journal
I'll use this section to track progress as I explore the Linux kernel and related tooling. Stay tuned for notes on kernel builds, debugging experiments, and contribution attempts.
