Freelance IT Developer — Linux Systems · CLI Tooling · AI Infrastructure

Open to work: EU · United Kingdom · Canada · Australia · Gulf. On-site, hybrid or remote.

Profile

Self-taught developer working across Linux systems, command-line tooling and local AI infrastructure. I build and maintain public open-source software in Go, Rust and Python, and I have run an online business end to end.

My work is practical: diagnosing Linux and GPU environments, shipping working tools, and reading systems carefully enough to fix them. The projects below are public and runnable — they are the clearest evidence of what I can do.
