Backstory
I am old OpenBSD fan and the thrill still continues. I used to maintain ports in OpenBSD and I am also into Linux.
I am a command line geek and write text mails in vim editor and use mutt for my email traffic.
No , I don’t use Gmail. My email server is hosted in Hetzner
My name got into wikipedia somehow.I am sure it was a mistake.
Check the 4th reference, that is my article.
I have been working on TCP/IP networking protocols, cryptography(not crypto currency or blockchain) and I have worked on several things in my long programmer life of 24 years.
I have written close to 5 cover stories on LinuxJournal back in 2008 on topics like
- P2P NAT traversal using UDP holepunching
- Multimedia with mplayer
- OpenSSH
- Image processing
- C programming for high performance sockets
Consulting for tech topics
In my long exposure to various technologies and my startup experience I offer value for others looking to do something in this new Internet creator economy.

Current status
Being a digital nomad I really have plenty of time or no time at all. I have never worked in a regular job since May 18, 2005.
I actively work on my E-mail threat control product SpamCheetah, a B2B SAAS product.
If you operate your own E-mail server you must give it a shot.
I also maintain LiveUSB OpenBSD that gives you a bootable UNIX on a USB pendrive.
I developed this around 2010 or so and still people use it.
In addition I keep working on growing my Twitter audience.
I interview people on Twitter. If you wish to be interviewed just send me a DM.
