👋 Hi, I’m Kevin — Founder & Lead IT Specialist at FOSSnix IT.

After years in IT and my contract at Intel finished, I've started my own business to help SMBs thrive with Linux & open-source solutions 🥳

Outside of tech I’m usually trying new beers, camping, or doing what my cat tells me to do 🍺 🌲 🐱

I'm glad to be here on Fosstodon & connecting with the FOSS community!

Hi everyone,

My CW contract at Intel ended, so I’m starting my own business doing what I enjoy most.
