Welcome to Amarand Labs, where technology, creativity, and curiosity come together. This is my personal space for exploring, building, and documenting ideas—a digital lab where I tinker with AI, Linux, security, networking, automation, and creative workflows.

Who I Am

I’m Amarand, a lifelong Computer Guy with a passion for photography, psychology, reading, writing, and haiku. I’ve been using Linux since the early Slackware days, and I’ve spent decades working with Unix-based systems, security, and infrastructure. Whether it’s tweaking AI workflows, troubleshooting complex systems, or iterating on design, I enjoy solving problems and sharing what I learn along the way.
