status = Open to new projects ๐I'm a Linux sysadmin, developer, and AI tinkerer from Quรฉbec. I build, run, and troubleshoot things, coding Minecraft plugins, full-stack server infrastructure, and increasingly the AI tooling around them. Past life: lead dev on HytaleHQ, a Hytale community running on custom plugins, Docker + Pterodactyl, and everything in between.
These days I'm deep in self-hosted AI (local LLMs via Ollama, MCP server integrations with Claude Desktop and Claude Code), running my own homelab on Docker + Caddy + Tailscale, and taking freelance work around VPS configuration, plugin dev, and Linux sysadmin.
