# About

Hello stranger,

This is a blog about my adventures into functional and procedual programming and system configuration + some politics maybe. Topics covered are NixOs and general Linux/DevoPs stuff. Programming in C, Rust, Zig and Lisp.

Formally educated as a security professional. Self thaught Linux admin with special interrest in virtualization, contaniers, kubernetes and NixOS. I love the Linux desktop <3 (running Sway and Emacs). Currently looking to level up programming with Rust and C. Looking to make cli applications, or platform engineering.

Kennedy
