Still Active

I check these contact links on a daily basis.

• E2EE E-mail: { trechnex [at] tuta [dot] com } on Tuta
• E2EE Instant Messages: trechnex.02 on Signal

Warning: It's fairly straightforward to spoof e-mail headers, so if you receive an unsolicited message from the trechnex.com domain, that may not necessarily be from me! You should ensure that the e-mail you've received passes DKIM and SPF checks. If it does not, the DMARC policy instructs your email provider to quarantine it as junk/spam.

Legacy Hangovers

I rarely use these contact links, but I still check them periodically.

• Element/Matrix: @TrechNex on tchncs.de
• Internet Relay Chat (IRC): ~trechnex@user/trechnex on Libera.chat
• Telegram: @trechnex

I've published an OpenPGP key for { bob [at] trechnex [dot] com } but I rarely use it, so please allow some time for me to use the command line on my laptop to decrypt your message and produce an encrypted response before sending me any further PGP encrypted messages.

Career Summary

I graduated with a Computer Science degree in 2013, then spent five years working as a software engineer for multinational corporations. I switched gears in 2018, and have since been writing online documentation and interactive tutorials for Oracle Linux and related cloud, virtualization, and enterprise products. My work has also been contributed to OpenELA.

If you recognise my name, it's perhaps from all the Linux Format magazine articles or some of my previous libre software side-projects (eg. Glimpse, ScorchOS, etc).

I have also earned recognition for non-Linux things as well. For example, the Royal Television Society named me their Young Technologist of 2014, and my unpaid volunteer work attracted a Diana Award in 2007.
