I'm Flaviu Gheorghe, a software engineering leader based in the UK who still can't resist getting hands-on with the stuff I'm supposed to be delegating.

I wrote my first lines of code on a ZX Spectrum when I was about seven. By the late 90s I was running FreeBSD, then moved to Linux, and never really left the terminal. These days I manage engineering teams professionally, but the evenings and weekends still belong to whatever technical rabbit hole has caught my attention.

This blog is where I document the things I build, break, and eventually fix. The topics follow whatever I'm working on: local AI inference on repurposed data centre GPUs, custom Linux distros, server administration, and game development in Godot.

Most of what you'll find here is practical. Step-by-step guides written because I hit a problem, couldn't find a decent answer, and figured I'd save the next person the trouble. If it took me an evening to figure out, it gets a blog post.

When I'm not managing people or writing code I'm usually laser engraving things, 3D printing parts for hardware projects, building out my AI rig, tinkering with custom Linux distros, or working on my next startup idea.

The source code for most projects mentioned on this blog is available on GitHub.
