About Me

My name is Amir. I’m a free-software advocate, full-stack web developer, and a geek who has been writing PHP since 2013. My first memory of computers goes back to when I was four, using a computer at my aunt’s house and being amazed by the idea that I could control what appeared on the screen. Years later, I accidentally installed Ubuntu 08.04 on my first laptop back in ’09 and lost my Windows in the process. Years later, that accident became my doorway into GNU/Linux, free software, and the idea that technology should give people freedom and control.

I was one of the co-founders of KLUG.IR, the Kerman Linux Users Group, back in 1391, where many good friendships were formed.

These days I work on SkyBase, an ISP management software, and Aviato, a cloud management platform. I mostly enjoy simple, reliable, long-lasting technologies: PHP, Laravel, GNU/Linux and tools that keep working without too much drama.

This blog is where I write about life, software, infrastructure, Linux, free software, business, and the things I learn while building and breaking systems.
