About

My interest in systems and infrastructure started during my engineering years, when working with Linux sparked a curiosity to understand how operating systems and production environments work under the hood. After experimenting with several Linux distributions, I gravitated toward Arch Linux for its transparency, flexibility, and control, which helped me develop a strong foundation in Linux systems and troubleshooting.During this time, I built and maintained TCET Linux, a custom Arch-based GNU/Linux distribution focused on stability and usability. My work involved writing Bash automation scripts, managing packages with pacman, improving system configuration, and documenting workflows to make the distribution accessible for new users. I later became a Core Maintainer for Arch Linux GUI (ALG), contributing to the development and maintenance of an open-source project aimed at simplifying the Arch Linux installation experience. In 2024, I transitioned into blockchain infrastructure, where I work on deploying and operating production blockchain nodes, including full nodes and RPC nodes. My work focuses on Linux-based infrastructure, node deployment, monitoring, upgrades, automation, and incident response, ensuring reliable and stable operations in production environments.I enjoy working close to systems, taking ownership of infrastructure, and building reliable, scalable platforms that people can depend on every day.
