Apoya a Rich Knowles

🎸 **Tech Professional | Terminal Whisperer | AI Coach**

I'm a longtime tech professional — over **25 years** and counting! I can set up your server, or a cluster of servers. **Windows? Yep. Mac? My favorite. Linux? Obsessed.** The terminal is my playground, and automation is my addiction.

My latest craving? Watching **Claude AI** pass the baton to **Gemini** to finish updating a website hosted on GitHub, deploying seamlessly through Cloudflare. It’s like conducting an orchestra — and I’ve played every instrument. But now I get to **watch it happen**, real-time. And here’s the best part: **you still need me (for now)** to babysit the genius kids showing off.

I’ve been programming since the **third grade**, back when I watched *The Jetsons* reruns with a bowl of Frosted Flakes. Now? I get to live it. And I promise — it’s way more fun than watching a Windows Update bar crawl across the screen.

Whether you need an **AI coach**, a **DevOps hand**, or just someone to nerd out with over terminal hacks and guitar solos... I’m here for it. It’s a work in progress — just like all of us.

If you’d like to support what I do, consider buying me a coffee. I run better with caffeine. Most clusters do.
