I build and break things to understand how they work — mostly around Linux, networking, and systems. Open source is where most of that ends up. I'm drawn to tools that are small, focused, and actually do what they say.

• Librerobe — a self-hosted, web-based connection stability test
• Cloud fundamentals — understanding what's actually happening under the abstractions
• Open-Source tooling — building things meant to be used, not just explored
• Systems internals — how Linux, processes, and networks behave
• A little security — enough to understand the surface, not the whole field

• Experiments and side projects built out of curiosity
• Repos that exist to make things work, not to look polished
• Notes and comments left behind so future-me doesn't have to figure it out twice

A few focused tools:

• Libreprobe → web-based connection stability test
• formseal → end-to-end encrypted form submissions
• ByteSeal → browser-only, offline file encryption

How distributed systems fail — not the happy path, the edge cases.
