Loading Linux on a Mac-Mini

I have been core to the creation of numerous internationally used platforms and the systems and networks that run them. I'm always tinkering with the next big thing, what can I do for you?

I have a genuine curiosity towards discovering how something works, or how things fit together, then pushing it to see what it’s capable of. This has been a trait of mine since an early age, assembling computers from any spare part that was available, then being fascinated with how they work, how they draw images on screens. And these days with IoT - how they can interact with the world.

I am always looking to further improve my knowledge of languages and tools, and different techniques to solve problems. This in turn is shared with my team and associates to assist
them in their roles, discovering determined developers along the way that also have that hidden itch to discover how things work.

If this sounds like it would fit in with a project or team that you have in mind then please don’t hesitate to get in contact.
