Hi there!
I’m Ricardson—a street photographer and open-source advocate with a lifelong passion for Linux (dating back to the Red Hat days!). Slackware 9.1 in 2004 was the distro that truly hooked me—its simplicity and "do-it-yourself" philosophy taught me the nuts and bolts of the system, and I’ve been a full-time Linux user ever since.
By day, I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer, scaling systems and automating chaos—after years of leading teams as a Manager and Head of Infrastructure. (Yes, I still miss the command line when stuck in meetings.)
These days, I split my time between:
📸 Capturing raw, candid moments through my lens—street photography is my way of storytelling.
💻 Tinkering with open-source tools—whether it’s tweaking my WM/DE, scripting, or testing FOSS alternatives.
🌐 Engaging with the Fediverse—I’m currently active on both BSD.cafe and Fosstodon, exploring the decentralized web.
I believe in privacy, minimalism, and the power of community-driven software. When I’m not behind a camera or a terminal, you might find me digging through vinyl records or sipping way too much coffee.
Let’s connect—I’m always up for a chat about photography, Linux, or obscure distros!
