Hello! My name is Dennis. I’m a machinist, a neophyte programmer and I also cosplay as a Linux Sysadmin.

The Rough Picture⌗

I was born into a family of Portuguese immigrants in 1986. We lived in Somerville back when it was still a working-class city. It was a great time and place to grow up. I graduated from a public school, complete with the typical brain maladies that accompanies such an education. I worked odd jobs for a few years until I stumbled into a career operating CNC machine tools. I was always fond of tinkering, making things, and computers. So it turns out working with CNC machines was the perfect career path for me. In 2015 I bought a house. In 2018 I got married and started a family and we now have two daughters. I’ve been interested in computers since my father purchased a Packard Bell PC in 1996. I’ve known about GNU/Linux operating systems since around the year 2003 but it wasn’t until around 2015 that I started using the operating system daily on all my computers. That’s also when I became interested in privacy, software freedom, and learning to create software of my own. Computing has now become my main hobby.
