Hi, I'm Ben Sanders. I'm a citizen of the [indie web](https://indieweb.org/) and an aspiring Network/Systems Administrator.

I love GNU/Linux and technology has always been a big part of my life ever since I was a kid. As such, I've maintained my personal website online for more than a decade since I first bought the domain bensanders.me in 2010. I used to to use WordPress but found Jekyll and loved the idea of static websites.

Recently, the domain bensanders.net became available so I think I finally found a permanent digital home.

## Contact

I can be contacted by email [hello@bensanders.net](mailto:hello@bensanders.net) as I'm trying to use more open and decentralized lines of communications these days.
