This is my website. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I’m Sam, and this is the home of my projects, writings, and good fun. I love all things computers and software, especially in the GNU Linux and open source world. At the start of 2025 I decided to turn my passion for computers into my career, starting with studying cyber security and learning to program. I’m also a hip hop head (my first musical memory is Cypress Hill’s Black Sunday), a Buffalo Bills fan, and ex-logistics guy of 15 years.

Here’s what I’m currently focused on:

  • building an open source API for Australian weather from scratch,
  • maintaining an AUR package for the Helium browser,
  • tinkering with gleemacs my personal GNU Emacs config,
  • this website: self-hosted for $3/month on trusty Debian stable with nginx and built with hugo.

You can read more about me and my projects on the about page.

Look Mum, I’m on the internet!
