10+ years keeping Linux, macOS, and Windows systems reliable and secure. I lead the AlmaLinux Media & Entertainment SIG, and outside work I build tools that make enterprise-grade Linux usable by anyone, no paywall, no terminal required.

What I'm building :

AlmaLinux Creative Installer, one-click install of 40+ creative apps on AlmaLinux.

Polaris, post-install setup for Fedora KDE: drivers, repos, apps, done.

AlmaLinux M&E Hardware Catalog, privacy-first community hardware reports.

I also show up wherever people are debugging things, AlmaLinux Mattermost, TrueNAS Discord, Netbird Slack. If you've pinged me about a broken migration or a weird kernel panic, that was me having fun, not doing you a favor.

I also do consulting for small studios and freelancers, helping them get more out of Linux, or just sharing what I know, whenever I can.

Maintaining these projects and staying on-call for the community takes real time. A coffee keeps the tools updated and the support free.
