Hi. My name's Kat.

I love scripting and Linux.

Let's work together.

Photo of myself

I am a Toronto-based, tech-loving innovator, code-instigator, and Linux system navigator. My passion is Linux-based servers, though I am comfortable with Windows Server 2016 as well. Local and server-based imaging in professional institutions showed me the beauty of automation, and education further amplifies my abilities and passions for roles where I can do just that. In early 2025, I learned about Python and the beautiful efficiencies it can provide, as well as shell scripting (mostly with bash shell). Efficiency, redundancy, and reliability are the rules of my game — and I'd love to show you the rules that make my game so fantastic.
