I’m starting FOSSadmin to turn my interest in Linux and open-source software into practical help for other people.

Built from hands-on learning

My Linux experience started with personal use and a homelab. I run NixOS on a desktop server, a mini-PC router and my laptop. I’ve also volunteered with the technical/network team at the Southern California Linux Expo.

My work background includes operations, ecommerce and documentation. More recently, I’ve been helping run OBS for live art and jewelry auctions, preparing inventory photos and shipping orders.

A small business with clear expectations

I want FOSSadmin to be approachable: explain the setup, write down the important steps and be honest about what I can take on.

Open source is a preference, not a promise that every tool will fit. The job is to choose something useful and explain its trade-offs.

Tell me what you’re trying to do. If it fits my skills, we can discuss the scope. If it doesn’t, I’ll say so.
