01 / Intro
Hi! I’m Jon.
I’ve been hooked on computers and software since I was a kid, starting with a classic obsession: video games. I caught the bug at 12 when I realized I could tweak Doom 3 configs to bend the game to my will. That spark turned into a lifelong habit of breaking, fixing, and over-optimizing everything I touched.
I became the go-to tech support for anyone within earshot, mastering Windows XP admin tasks before eventually falling down the Linux rabbit hole. I’ve spent countless hours installing and tinkering with distros on every piece of hardware I could get my hands on.
Fast forward to today, and I’ve spent over a decade as a professional remote software developer. Software isn’t just a career for me; it’s a craft I’m still obsessed with. I’m constantly evolving, tinkering, and remolding myself to work with different technologies and constraints.
You’ll find a mix of experiments and mini-projects here: small ideas, tools, and curiosities I build for fun and to learn. I also maintain my personal Kindle highlights, a growing archive of thoughts and insights collected over the years.
