About me
I have a bachelor's degree in information technology. I have been writing bash scripts for ten years, and created several different open source command line utilities and projects, which you can find on GItHub.
I currently work in the high performance computing industry working exclusively with Linunx on a daily basis.
I remember when I first started working in Linux and feeling completely lost. I kept thinking it was easy to just click and point to do stuff. Writing cryptic commands on an old-looking terminal prompt seemed so bizarre. As I used it, I began to see the potential and how you could accomplish more on the command line than in a graphical interface.
The world of Linux, macOS, and the command line is filled with fun, nerdy things, which I'll show you along the way.
I'm not on social media but I do have GitHub and my personal blog, which is filled with all sorts of fun things I've done with scripting.
