My name is Jon. I'm a Systems Automation Engineer, currently living in Maryland. I'm a Linux SME and self-hosting enthusiast.

✨ Creating bugs since: before GitHub existed! Remeber the days of CVS and SVN?

📚 I'm currently learning: Go, Ansible, Terraform, AI

🎲 Fun fact: My love for Linux began with running Red Hat Linux 8 (2002) on a computer built from spare parts. The primary purpose was to run ShowEQ; the packet analyzer for EverQuest (compiled from source despite rpm/dependency hell). I soon graduated to Debian/Ubuntu... and thus began my love affair with Linux and self-hosting.

I currently run a Proxmox cluster at home with 7 nodes that I use as my self-hosting playground.

I have a black (void) cat named Nully 🐈‍⬛
