Hello and outlook

Hello world

This is the first post on raskell.io. My name is Raffael. I build software, mostly in the space of platform automation, edge infrastructure, and applied security. I also have a long-running interest in open-source software, operating systems, and the kind of hardware you find in recycling bins and give a second life to.

This site exists to document real work and share patterns that other engineers can use. Not thought leadership. Not personal branding. Just notes from the workshop.

What to expect

At the time of writing, I planned to cover:

  • Linux and BSD systems, particularly Void Linux and OpenBSD
  • Open-source tooling and infrastructure
  • Platform automation and operability
  • Whatever hard problem I happened to be stuck on

Looking back from 2026, the scope grew to include edge systems, AI-assisted engineering, and a few deep dives I did not expect to write. The thread that held it together was always the same: systems under pressure, and the tools that keep them running.
