user@zionsec:~$ whoami

24-year-old software engineer from California — shipping Linux tools, OPSEC CLIs, and desktop experiments.

01 / about

I’m a software engineer based in California. I build practical Linux tooling: privacy/OPSEC CLIs, Wayland desktop utilities, and local AI workflows that stay honest about what they can and can’t do.

Most of my public work lives under github.com/r3dg0d — small, focused repos with clear docs, Nix where it helps, and no marketing fluff.
