Hi, I'm Fiw, just a guy who loves tech and building whatever comes to mind, so I do a little of everything I find interesting or just want to try out. One day it's a Minecraft mod, the next it's a whole desktop shell or some homelab service I probably didn't need but built anyway.
My main thing is Linux and the systems that run the software I build or deploy: Docker, Traefik, backups, CI/CD, a mini PC under my desk quietly keeping my friends' servers alive. That's the part I actually care about, the stuff holding everything up that nobody notices when it works.
So I'm not a coder, and I'm not really trying to be one, at least not right now. I think in systems more than in code. I write Bash, Go, Lua and a bit of Java by hand, and for anything heavier I lean on AI agents while keeping the design and direction mine.

| Area | Tools |
|---|---|
| OS | Arch Linux · CachyOS · macOS · Ubuntu Server LTS |
| Core | Linux CLI · systemd · Bash scripting · networking |
| Containers | Docker · Docker Compose · Portainer |
| Routing | Traefik · auto TLS · self-hosted services |
| CI/CD | GitHub Actions (validate · deploy · backup · build) |
Linux, systemd, Docker, and Bash are where I'm at home. Kubernetes, Terraform, and Ansible are on the list, I've touched them and I'll come back properly.
Daily Machines
- MacBook Air M4, my main macOS workstation (most used)
- Main PC, dual-booted Linux / Win11 for gaming and heavy loads
- ThinkPad T14 Gen 1, secondary Linux box running Arch + Hyprland
Most of my work happens over SSH, so CLI tools get the most mileage. Comfortable in whatever editor the job needs.
What I write by hand vs. what I architect and direct.
By hand
Bash ████████░░░░░ comfortable
Go ██████░░░░░░░ learning, CLI tooling
Lua █████░░░░░░░░ game logic, configs
Java ███░░░░░░░░░░ read & modify
Architect & direct (AI-assisted)
Kotlin · TypeScript · Python · QML
I own the design, libraries, and how it fits together.
The implementation gets done under my direction.
A handcrafted Arch Linux desktop built on Hyprland and a custom Quickshell (QML / Qt6) interface. My daily driver on the ThinkPad T14, rebuilt from the ground up after my old Waybar setup kept hitting walls.
Twelve real panels (WiFi connect, Bluetooth pairing, clipboard history, audio/MPRIS hub, system monitor, wallpaper carousel), frosted glass throughout, one coherent Catppuccin Mocha theme across everything, and an automated installer with Minimal / Developer / Full presets. The bar reads stats straight from /proc and sysfs, no external daemon.
FIW Bosses (active)
My most ambitious mod. A data-driven boss framework for Fabric, NeoForge, and Forge, inspired by MythicMobs, built from scratch. Define fully custom multi-phase bosses entirely through JSON: 50+ abilities, HP-threshold phases, custom minions with their own AI and movement modes, pre-fight and pre-death dialogue, custom skins and loot, and hot reload. No coding, no restarts, drop a config and run /boss reload. Runs across Minecraft 1.21.11 / 1.21.8 / 1.21.1 / 1.20.1. On Modrinth.
FIW Tools (active)
The sibling mod to Fiw Bosses. A data-driven custom-item framework, also JSON-only and fully server-side, so vanilla clients connect with no install. Define weapons, armor, food, curses, imbuements, and player abilities on top of vanilla data components: custom names, lore, attributes, enchantments above vanilla caps, active and passive effects, a curse system, and an imbuing/upgrade engine. With both mods installed, bosses can drop or wear Fiw Tools items by toolId. Builds for Fabric and NeoForge on 1.21.11 (plus a Fabric 26 target). On Modrinth.
FiwLand — fiwservers.lol
Self-hosted private Minecraft SMPs for my friends and players, built and maintained end-to-end:
- Custom mods and plugins
- Automated backup systems
- Discord bots for server management and RCON control
- A custom community website and a self-hosted homelab dashboard
- Custom lore, items, and gameplay where it makes sense
Runs behind Traefik on the homelab: Fabric / NeoForge servers, Python + discord.py bots, a FastAPI + React community site, and a Bun/TypeScript dashboard.
- Finishing my DevOps course
- Coming back to Kubernetes, Terraform, and Ansible when there's time
- Go for automation and CLI tooling
- Getting better at networking
🎭 What I call myself
I wear a few hats, and honestly they all overlap:
- DevOps — Docker, CI/CD, reverse proxies, automation, keeping things running
- Systems / Platform Engineer — this is the core. I design how the whole thing fits together and build the platform my software runs on
- Systems Architect — I think in systems first. I own the design and the decisions, then build it myself or direct an AI agent to
- Builder / Dev — at the end of the day I just make stuff: mods, desktops, bots, services, whatever I feel like
Not a job title, just how I actually work.
