Hello there, this is Lourenço! I'm an economist by training, farmer by trade, nerd by passion. Been using GNU/Linux full-time since I built my first PC at 14; with a knack for system administration (I manage my own e-mail server, IRC server, private DNS resolver and sinkhole, etc), I excel at developing new solutions to problems I have - the hacker ethos.

I'm a pretty eclectic person, with a wide range of hobbies. At the moment these include gardening, hiking, photography and programming in Golang. Get in touch, and I'm sure we'll hit it off!

🔭 I’m currently contributing to #mgmtconfig: https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt

🌱 Recently I'm focusing on improving my Golang! How? These are the most recent examples: http-server-go (simple http server written using TCP primitives), shell-go (a REPL shell written) and bittorrent-go (a bittorrent client)

🌍 I'm originally from Portugal, but I'm now located in Kraków, Poland
