Hello, NGINX community looking forward to working with you all. I am especially interested in seeing all the interesting projects I hope folks will share with the community in our new gathering place.

:hourglass: I have been with NGINX for five years and F5 for 2 for a grand total of 7 years.
:floppy_disk: I am a pure tinker and technologist @ core. 26 years in the biz, I truly enjoy anything that runs on code from game dev to robotics/automation to 3d printing.
:honeybee: Besides my many tech and tinkering endeavours I also keep bees.
:joystick: Best way to distract me is talk about games and more importantly game development.

:wave: to all

  • George Liu aka eva2000 from Brisbane, Australia.
  • Developed and creator of the LEMP stack, Centmin Mod since 2011 with my blend of Nginx, PHP-FPM, MariaDB MySQL on YUM/DNF based CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux with support for various crypto libraries allow me to support additional features including Post-Quantum KEX :sunglasses: Helping to contribute to world wide Nginx usage Market share trends for web panels, February 2025 :nerd_face:
  • When not working on Centmin Mod, I help my clients keep their forum communities’ servers performing and scaling for traffic/growth. I’ve worked with some of the largest vBulletin and Xenforo forum based communities online :grinning:
  • I am also obsessed with web site page speed and server performance and I am also an official Cloudflare Community MVP since 2018 and Cloudflare customer since 2011. Similar to how Microsoft MVP works :nerd_face:

I am happy to finally see Nginx move off its own forums, though I am curious: why not just redirect old nginx forums to new forums instead of leaving it to die?
