Automated Linux System Health Monitor
Description:
Goal: Provide proactive, automated monitoring of core system resources (CPU, RAM, Disk) to prevent unexpected server downtime.
Solution: Developed a Bash utility using native Linux tools (top, free, df) with customizable warning thresholds. Integrated local mail alerts via mailx and set up cron job automation for continuous background execution.
Outcome: A lightweight, production-tested diagnostic tool designed for RHEL/CentOS environments that eliminates manual health checks and ensures instant administrative alerts

I wrote a grimoire for human–AI interaction.
The Interaction Grimoire is a 207-folio exploration of interaction design, AI behavior, delegated agency, permission, memory, trust, feedback, error, and human authority, written through the language of ritual technology.
The premise is simple: an interface is not decoration. It is the threshold where human intention becomes machine action.
Buttons become sigils. Permissions become wards. Agents become delegated hands. Receipts become seals. State becomes memory. And good interaction design becomes the law that determines what may cross between human and machine.
Beneath the occult visual language is a practical systems question I keep returning to:
How do we give increasingly autonomous machines useful agency without making human authority invisible?
This work is part interaction design, part AI behavior design, part systems architecture, and part visual worldbuilding.

intelligence is the standard.
AI made being “busy” a lot less impressive.
Anyone can now:
Draft an email in seconds.
Summarize a meeting instantly.
Research a prospect.
Create a first draft.
Build a basic spreadsheet.
Turn notes into action items.
So I think the value of great support is changing.
It’s becoming less about:
“Can you do this task?”
And more about:
“Can I trust you to figure out what needs to happen next?”
That means judgment.
Prioritization.
Communication.
Follow-through.
Knowing when AI is useful — and when a human needs to step in.
The people who combine those skills with AI are going to be incredibly valuable.
What skill do you think becomes MORE valuable as AI gets better?
