👋 hi, i’m <em>bri</em>

i’m a systems engineer and open source generalist focused on automation, tooling, and making obscure things Just Work™.

📚 i’m best known for filebrowser.koplugin — a plugin that brings a clean, browser-based file manager to Kindle’s KOReader, making it way easier to manage files on-device. it's a little niche, but surprisingly loved 💜

🧩 what else i work on

• 🖥️ fedora coreos on proxmox ve – automation for bare‑metal and homelab setups
• ⚙️ github actions + ci – reproducible builds and portable workflows
• 🐧 linux tweaks + systemd + udev – making oddball hardware behave
• 📘 plainspoken docs – guides that save you 12 browser tabs

💖 why sponsor me?

i keep all my projects free, open, and un-gated. but infrastructure and time aren’t free.

sponsorship helps cover:

• ☁️ cloud and CI resources
• 🧪 test hardware for edge cases
• 🌐 hosting for docs, builds, and downloads
• ☕ caffeine for 3am debugging sessions

if my work has made your kindle smoother, your homelab cleaner, or your shell scripts less cursed, a small monthly contribution means the world 💜

⭐ not ready to sponsor? no pressure—stars and kind words are always welcome! 😌
