Introduction¶
๐ Hey there! I'm Greg โ part sysadmin, part chaos wrangler, part bedtime storyteller, and full-time noise enthusiast. If it runs on Linux, breaks unexpectedly, or involves an impossible, bizarre mishap caused by me incorrectly interpreting my anxiety medication dosage, Iโm probably involved.
By day, Iโm a seasoned Sysadmin and Infrastructure Specialist, by night, a veteran beginner Music Producer and Children's Book Author, and permanently, a full-time skateboard enthusiast, information hoarder and purveyor of dark humour and uplifting philosophies on life and relationships.
Iโve been considered by some, as a Linux wiz, since the days of dial-up internet, and my reputation as an alround fixer of impossible problems, means that I am always a welcome sight in times of customer panic and platform chaos. I dont know if itโs my fluency in shell languages or my ability to empathise with the complex modern issues,hacking at thier fledgeling sigital self-awareness, they respond to me. They just work better when Im around. Many of my customers have commented that the HPC cluster all of a dudden just perked up and started running well as soon as it heard I was coming. I mean, I dont know if that could even be true..they should know by now, that I think they need alog well deserved break. away you had to threaten your modem into connecting), and all-around fixer of impossible problems. Fluent in Bash, YAML, and that mystical dialect known as "Customer Panic."
๐ถ By night, I write ridiculous children's stories starring my two mini-chaos agents, Skye and Raven, while crafting beats, tweaking synths, and making my house shake like it's personally offended me. My speakers are large enough to require planning permission, and my neighbours have achieved enlightenment through bass-induced meditation.
๐ Whether itโs debugging a server, mixing a track, or explaining to my pharmacist why my latest cron job installed Ansible on the fridge, chaos is both my job and my muse. โ Fueled by coffee, powered by open-source, and kept humble by a lifetime of disastrous "quick fixes." ๐ Philosophy: If it can be automated, it should. If it can't be automated, youโre probably overthinking it. If it works perfectly, I definitely forgot something. ๐ Professional motto: "Itโs not really down unless management notices." ๐ Check out my work โ itโs somewhere between elegant scripting, speaker-crushing beats, and medication-fueled mayhem.
