Lord J. Hackwell

I'm a self-taught developer and hacker. My journey into programming started when I was 10, after I picked up a copy of Webmaster's Handbook from 1997.

That book introduced me to HTML, and I quickly started making my own little websites. A couple of years later, at 12, I moved on to PHP because I wanted to make those websites a little less boring and a lot cooler.

I had no idea where it would lead. I just liked making things.

Later, I went to John Bauer College, a school with an early focus on IT, entrepreneurship, and practical programs. There I studied web design, programming (Java and PHP), networking, from server racks and Cisco routers to writing RIP routing tables, digital technology and, yes, Linux.

After graduating, I switched from Windows to Linux and never looked back.

Since then, I've kept learning mostly by building things, breaking things, and figuring out why they broke. I've worked with everything from web development and Python to Linux, networking, servers, containers, and low-level systems.

These days, I tend to build the things I wish existed, automate the things I find annoying, and occasionally go down a rabbit hole just because I want to know how something works.

I'm currently deep in vibe-code mode, working on a mix of tools, websites, Linux projects, and other weird little ideas that probably didn't need to exist, but they do now.
