Raw Blame History

Alexa Amundson

Systems Engineer

amundsonalexa@gmail.com | github.com/blackboxprogramming

Summary

Systems engineer managing 256 systemd services across a 7-node Linux fleet. Deep expertise in kernel tuning, power optimization, thermal management, device drivers (Hailo-8 NPU, I2C, GPIO, UART), and distributed system reliability with automated monitoring and self-healing.

Experience

BlackRoad OS | Founder & Systems Lead | 2024–Present

Linux Systems

Manage 5 Raspberry Pi nodes (Debian Bookworm) + 2 Ubuntu VMs
Configure and tune 256 systemd services and 35 timers
Kernel parameter optimization: CPU governors, swappiness, dirty_ratio, WiFi power management
Custom udev rules for device persistence (vcio, Hailo-8, USB peripherals)
Boot configuration: cmdline.txt, config.txt, /etc/sysctl.d/ for persistent tuning

Hardware & Device Drivers

2× Hailo-8 AI accelerators: PCIe driver installation, /dev/hailo0 device management
I2C devices: Pironman5 OLED display (0x3c), sensor interfaces
UART/serial: CP2102 adapters, BL808 RISC-V dev boards
GPIO: IR receivers, custom peripheral control
NVMe storage: 1 TB drive on Octavia for high-speed workloads

Performance Engineering

Resolved thermal throttling: identified runaway processes, reduced 73.8°C → 57.9°C
Fixed undervoltage: removed overclock settings, tuned voltage (+95mV recovery)
Power optimization deployed fleet-wide: conservative governors, GPU memory reduction (256→16 MB)
Boot-persistent config via tmpfiles.d, rc.local, sysctl.d

Networking

WireGuard mesh VPN across all nodes
DNS infrastructure: Pi-hole, PowerDNS (Docker), dnsmasq with custom zones (.cece, .blackroad)
Nginx (48 sites), Cloudflare tunnels (4), Tailscale (9 peers)
Network diagnostics: 106 active connections monitored, 867 processes tracked

Security

Credential rotation: migrated secrets from crontabs to env files (chmod 600)
Identified and removed obfuscated cron dropper (malware)
SSH key audit: 50+ keys on Alice/Octavia
UFW firewall management on edge nodes

Technical Skills

OS: Debian, Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, systemd, udev, kernel tuning Hardware: Hailo-8 NPU, Raspberry Pi 5, I2C, GPIO, UART, PCIe, NVMe Networking: WireGuard, Tailscale, Nginx, DNS (Pi-hole, PowerDNS, dnsmasq) Security: SSH hardening, credential management, firewall (UFW/nftables) Scripting: Bash (212 tools, 91 scripts), Python

Metrics

Metric	Value
