About

Welcome to Rexursive!

Owner I develop and support free and/or open source software, or FOSS for short.

My primary platform is GNU/Linux, but I am no stranger to other Unix systems. I mostly write software in C programming language, but I'm familiar with some other environments too.

Rexursive exists since April 2002. However, my history of involvement with computers goes back to early 1980's, during my high school years. Since then, I've been working with various things, from Fortran and Pascal on CDOS, Clipper (!?) on DOS, C on Unix, DOS and TOS/GEM to Java on whatever. I've also done my share of PC (server) hardware and Windows, especially NT, to be finally captured by FOSS and Linux.

I'm an open source systems contractor. I work with systems based on GNU/Linux or Unix, including most of the software that comes with it, like Apache, Samba, GCC, OpenOffice.org, Postfix, Squid, Bind, Mailman, PostgreSQL etc. I also develop open source software, mainly in the area of web services and applications.

Resume

I am a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHEL3). If you would like to verify that, contact me and I will give you my certificate number. This certification is not current any more.

On 10 April 2006, folks from Apache Portable Runtime project asked me if I would like to be a committer on the project and I accepted. I used to be a Tomcat committer in the past, but my contribution was insignificant.

I also maintain some packages in Fedora.

Here is a brief list of things that I know, use and consider myself proficient with:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 - 5
  • Red Hat Cluster Suite and GFS 6.x
  • CentOS 3.x - 5.x
  • Fedora Core 1 - 10
  • Apache 1.3.x, 2.x
  • Apache Portable Runtime 0.9.x, 1.x
  • UNIX API
  • PostgreSQL 7.x, 8.x
  • mySQL 3.x, 4.x, 5.x
  • Bind 8.x, 9.x
  • Postfix 1.1.x, 2.x
  • Squid 2.x, 3.x
  • vsftpd 1.2.x, 2.x
  • Mailman 2.x
  • Samba 2.x, 3.x
  • OpenLDAP 2.x
  • iptables/ipchains
  • Procmail
  • Dovecot 0.99.x, 1.x
  • XML/XHTML/XSLT/HTML/Javascript
  • C/Java/Shell (bash, sh, ksh) programming

The list of the stuff that I have used, but only consider myself relatively competent with:

  • HP-UX 11.11
  • Solaris 8 - 10
  • PHP 4.x, 5.x
  • HP OpenView NNM 6.x, 7.x

  • Tomcat 3.x, 4.x, 5.x
  • JBoss 2.x
  • Velocity 1.x
  • Horde/IMP
  • ViewVC 1.x
  • Subversion 1.x

Here are some of the other techologies that I either used before, am using or administering now, but consider more or less unimportant because they are proprietary, out of my area of interest or obsolete:

  • Windows 9x/NT4/2000/XP
  • Exchange Server 5.x
  • Sendmail 8.x
  • Red Hat Linux 5.0 - 9
