Octávio Filipe Pereira Gonçalves

Systems Engineer & Network and Security Administrator | Free Software Advocate | HAM Radio Operator

Welcome to my digital space. I am a Systems Engineer and Network & Security Administrator, driven by a deep curiosity about how things work and a passion for making them more efficient through automation.

In both my professional career and personal projects, my enthusiasm is divided into three main pillars:

🛠️ Systems Engineering & Automation

I am a strong advocate for Free and Open-Source Software. I live by the philosophy that if you have to do a task manually more than twice, it should be automated. Specializing in Debian and Linux environments, I develop scripts and solutions to ensure the stability, security, and resilience of networks and servers.

📻 Amateur Radio (CT7BFV) & Telecoms

The world of radio frequencies and wireless communication deeply fascinates me. As a licensed amateur radio operator with the callsign CT7BFV, I enjoy bridging the gap between traditional hardware and modern software. This has led me to develop Python-based projects that utilize WebRTC technology for remote transceiver operation and automatic spectrum analysis.

🔌 IoT & Hardware Integration

I love bringing Single-Board Computers (like the Raspberry Pi) to life. Whether I am building barcode/QR code reading terminals, developing GSM-modem call validation systems, or integrating physical sensors, IoT (Internet of Things) is my playground for connecting code to the physical world.
