I like figuring out why things break — mostly around Linux, Windows, and networks — and fixing them. Open source is where most of that ends up. I direct and test small, focused tools built to solve a specific annoying problem, using AI to help with implementation.

• Cloud fundamentals — understanding what's actually happening under the abstractions
• Systems internals — how Linux, processes, and networks behave
• Networking & Windows troubleshooting — the stuff that comes up in IT/support work
• Enough security to understand the surface, not the whole field

• Small tools built out of curiosity, each solving one specific problem
• Repos that exist to work, not to look polished
• Notes left behind so future-me doesn't have to figure it out twice

A few focused tools:

• formseal → end-to-end encrypted form submissions
• Libreprobe → web-based connection stability test
• winkit → Windows utilities for backups, file management, and disk monitoring

An IT / technical support internship — troubleshooting, systems, and networking knowledge over writing code from scratch.
