My name is Alfred. I’ve been exploring Unix systems since I was 16, and over 20 years later, that passion is still going strong. I care deeply about practical infrastructure, automation, and the simplicity and power of working close to the metal — whether that’s Linux, OpenBSD, Windows, or cloud-native tooling.
This site is a place for sharing ideas, documenting things I’ve built or debugged, and reflecting on all things command line. No fluff — just useful insights, tools, and scripts.
Since the beginning of my career, I’ve spent countless hours managing systems through the command line. While most of that time has been on Unix-based systems, even on Windows I prefer to install SSH or use PowerShell — always opting for the command line over a GUI whenever practical.
The command line is like a magic wand for interacting with computer systems: powerful, flexible, and efficient. That’s why the domain command.is is such a natural fit — it reflects exactly how I work and think, bringing together everything I’ve learned into one place.
I have extensive experience in system administration and software engineering. Since 2014, I have been the CTO of my own startup, Nanitor. This role has allowed me to apply my skills to develop and implement a widely used solution, of which I am proud.
