MOTD

Stepping away from the algorithmic feeds. Currently migrating my local network routing to OpenBSD and making time for deep work.

Profile

Grounded in a naturally reserved personality, I am drawn to the quiet resilience of UNIX-like environments. I appreciate minimalism in both digital and physical spaces, favoring quiet reliability over unnecessary complexity. This perspective is deeply rooted in my interest in retro computing—I often find myself reminiscing about the quieter, more deliberate computing and internet culture of the 80s and 90s.

Aside from technology, my pursuits are varied but focused. I closely follow the news, advocate strongly for PTSD awareness and emerging psychedelic therapies, and maintain an open curiosity as a UAP enthusiast. My love for minimalism and reliable design also extends to everyday tools, reflected in a carefully curated collection of knives and flashlights.

I value deliberate, thoughtful communication. If you find beauty in simple systems or share an interest in these subjects, you are welcome to reach out.
