creating Custom free and open-source software solutions

    I'm a Software Developer, Cloud Infrastructure Engineer (with DevSecOps Engineering roles) and Electrical Technician. In my spare time I enjoy writing software for the open-source community. I deal a lot with Docker on a day-to-day basis and have experience in embedded Linux development. Over the past decade I have been integral to a number of open-source projects:

    • I have worked to bring Linux based media players to AMLogic SoC. Co-developing EmbER - a JEOS Linux based on Buildroot and one of the first ports of Kodi to AML8726-M6 devices.

    • Maintained a Docker container solution of Tizonia - A commandline cloud music player for Linux.

    • Created various add-ons for Kodi and LibreELEC.

    • Wrote the original 'libraryoptimise' project which later was re-written to Unmanic.

    • Wrote Unmanic - the library optimiser (Still maintaining).

    • Wrote Steam Headless - An easy to use Linux desktop Docker container for hosting game libraries such as Steam for remote play (Still maintaining).

    • Wrote TVH IPTV Config - A simplified method for managing IPTV M3U8 playlists using Tvheadend as a back-end and FFmpeg buffer (Still maintaining).

    • Lots of other projects... Checkout my GitHub and GitLab.

    This Patreon account is created to give the users of my software a means to support future development of my work.
