Summary
Paul Warren is a versatile freelance embedded developer and Linux systems engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and operating production Red Hat, Debian and NixOS environments. He combines deep sysadmin skills—RHEL/Satellite, Ansible, Terraform, KVM/Xen/OpenStack, containers and Kubernetes—with embedded firmware work on STM32 using libopencm3, having implemented bootloaders, firmware and upload tooling. His background spans government and enterprise projects where he managed mid-scale RHEL deployments, AD integration for Linux, mail/PKI best practices and network routing, bringing a strong operational security mindset to infrastructure. Comfortable across stacks from Apache/Nginx to Ruby on Rails and Python, Paul also has practical SDR and hardware experience that informs pragmatic system design. Based in Hobart, Tasmania, he pairs veteran stability and documentation discipline with a hacker’s curiosity—his projects and personal git host reflect a preference for self-managed, long-lived infrastructure.
