Electrician by trade. AP graduate in IT Technology. Now studying cyber security at UCN in Denmark.
I run Linux as my main driver on desktop 🐧 — daily driving, homelab, the works. Windows doesn't get a look in here.
GitHub is not a showcase of greenfield apps for me. It is the spare-parts drawer for things I actually run: a long-lived Minecraft community, a homelab, and whatever broke after the last update.
I help run MÆLK — a Danish Minecraft survival and creative community that has been online since 2012.

That is why this profile is full of Paper and Purpur plugins. I fork what the server depends on, then keep it working when Minecraft moves: mcMMO, claims, holograms, Discord, voice chat, Skript extras, MOTD, RTP, worlds, and the rest.
Recent forks I am actually touching: skript-yaml, skript-placeholders, PistonMOTD, AxiomPaperPlugin, lod-server-support.
The house is a lab. Home Assistant, UniFi, Linux, and containers. If something can be self-hosted, I will probably try.
My desktop runs Linux full-time, so anything I build or fork gets tested there first — no VM as a safety net.
Lately that includes OpenDeck, so a Stream Deck behaves on Linux, and home-assistant/core when I need to see how an automation really works.
I still think like an electrician: if it is not installed, documented, and able to fail without taking the rest of the house down, it is not done. ⚡
