The Journey from “Magic” to Mastery:

I used to think computers were magic—something only “smart” people could understand. After a rocky start in traditional academics and a few “paperweight” laptops, I discovered Ubuntu 10.04. That single ISO changed everything. What started as a “cool toy” eventually became a foundational part of my identity. Today, I’ve moved away from proprietary ecosystems to run a home lab powered exclusively by Linux. This site is the culmination of my experience in distro-hopping, virtualization, and self-hosting, combined with my deep passion for theology, history, and apologetics. I’m here to share that technical journey and the perspective I’ve gained along the way.
