• 👋 Hey, I'm Papi

🎵 Music Writer · YouTuber · Professional Button Pusher

I make things that involve music, Linux, Python, OBS automation, and questionable amounts of caffeine.

Sometimes it works.

Sometimes I run sudo.

Sometimes I routing-loop PipeWire until audio vanishes into the void.

Sometimes I just map another MIDI button via WebSockets because clicking a mouse is too much effort.

• 🌐 Network Topology & Configuration: Open-source Linux tools for visual topology design (Nettopology MVP), VLANs, routing, bridges, IP addressing, and firewall planning.
• 🎬 Local Video & Audio Transcription: Native Linux toolchains for automated processing.
• 🎤 Lyrics & Subtitle Factory: Processing multilingual translations, regional slang, and native dialects into clean .srt files.
• 🎹 OBS WebSocket & MIDI Routers: Python scripts mapping hardware controllers to stream scenes and audio feeds on the fly.
• 📚 MediaWiki Music Indexing: Custom infobox templates and Python scripts for auto-cataloging releases and studio archives.
• 🐧 Linux Audio Pipeline Scripts: Carla plugins, Kdenlive batch renderers, and low-latency PipeWire setups on Ubuntu.
• 🦾 ARM Linux Experiments: Installing ARM Linux on things that were absolutely not designed to run ARM Linux.
• Custom Camera Configuration Software: User friendly GUIs for outdated IP Cameras (the kind they call security risks because they're so outdated) #YOLO
• AI Prompting Wizardry: Custom configuration files and knowledge bases for accurate and hyperlocal generative AI.

Python · Ubuntu Linux · PipeWire · Carla · OBS Studio (WebSockets) · Kdenlive · MediaWiki · PyQt5 · FFmpeg · Whisper · LibreTranslate

I produce tracks, create content, and build custom open-source toolchains to handle the heavy lifting.

My general development workflow:

Have a brilliant idea
    ↓
Write a Python script to automate it
    ↓
OBS Studio stops taking MIDI commands
    ↓
Debug PipeWire patchbay for 45 minutes
    ↓
Realize I fixed the wrong audio graph
    ↓
Re-run Python script with sudo (just in case)
    ↓
It inexplicably works
    ↓
`git commit -m "Do not touch, it works"`

🚀 If it can be automated, I'm going to script it. If it can't be automated, I'll write a Python WebSocket middleware until it can.
