I spend most of my time learning by building and experimenting with systems — usually around Linux, basic networking, and small self-hosted or browser-based projects. I don’t have everything figured out yet; I mostly learn by setting things up, breaking them, and understanding what went wrong.

• General networking concepts (how things connect, route, and fail)
• Linux basics (processes, permissions, services, command-line tools)
• Small virtual labs and local setups
• Trying out cloud concepts at a surface level (just enough to understand what’s happening)

• Small experiments and side projects built out of curiosity
• Repositories that exist mainly to make things work, not to look polished
• Occasional notes or comments when something is likely to be forgotten later
• A few focused tools I built to explore specific ideas:
  • FormSeal → an experiment around end-to-end encrypted form submissions
  • ByteSeal → a browser-only, offline file encryption tool

Right now I’m focused on building fundamentals and getting comfortable with how systems behave in practice. I’m still exploring different areas and figuring out what I want to go deeper into long-term.

I break things often — mostly because that’s how I end up learning how they actually work.
