===== Upstream =====

I have a number of ports I personally use for a "FEMP" stack.
I contribute fixes upstream in these various ports for issues that I run into.

Areas of interest:

  * Nginx
  * PHP
  * %%MariaDB%%
  * Galera Cluster
  * ZeroTier

===== ARM / Aarch64 =====

Everybody in the world should have access to technology, but far too often it is cost prohibitive.
A $35 single board computer is an amazing deal, but needs software to accompany that hardware.
Helping to identify shortcoming, and propose fixes to %%FreeBSD%%'s Aarch64 system has become a bit of passion of mine.

===== The Oddball =====

I'm a little strange. I use Microsoft Windows desktop with %%PuTTY%% to SSH into a %%FreeBSD%% Aarch64 virtual machine
running on a MacBook Air M1 for the purpose of working on the Linuxulator %%CentOS%% C7 ports. I think I have a
bit of an Operating System identity crisis! I also have a bit of a mix with %%TrueNAS%% Core for storage, OPNsense
for routing, and VMware ESXi ARM Fling as yet another hypervisor.
