Introduction

Hello, my name is Viktor Hlavaji, aka DaVieS.

I’m an IT specialist with over 10 years of experience in system administration across FreeBSD, Linux, and Windows environments. I work as both a software developer and a full-stack system administrator.

I also have extensive experience with microcontrollers (PIC MCUs, ESP) and industrial communication protocols such as ModBUS-RTU. My background includes developing low-level software and working directly with networking technologies such as ARP, Ethernet, TCP, UDP, and ICMP.

I began my career in game server hosting and web hosting, operating several websites that attracted 15–25K unique visitors per day — back in the era when ADSL was just starting to overtake ISDN.

Over the years, I’ve worked with Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD. In the end, FreeBSD became my system of choice — the cleanest, most well-structured OS I’ve ever used straight out of the box.

I had a great success with my own software programs like:

- Industry Leading High-Availability Datalogging Software
- ASPF (Centralized Spam Filter)
- Track-IT (Complete IT-Infrastructure management system) Like: Teamviewer, Cisco, VNC, HWINFO, SMART, Tunnels)
- Smarthome
- sysAdmin's ToolBox (Android)
- BVCP: FreeBSD Bhyve Webadministration Interface

To keep my knowledge sharp, I build the things I need myself. I’ve always believed I could create solutions better suited to my needs than what already exists — and now I know that to be true. Instead of letting these projects fade away, I try to share them with others, even though it can sometimes be challenging due to laws, licenses, and language barriers. This is my footprint — something I want to leave behind in the world.

Since 2018, I’ve been focusing on reducing industrial-scale CO₂ emissions by lowering energy consumption in industry-class applications.

Over the years, I’ve created hundreds of software programs. Maintaining them all individually became impossible, so I began working within a framework that allows functionality to expand over time while keeping all my existing software up to date.

nPulse.net is my development infrastructure, and my long-term vision is for it to grow into a vibrant community — at least, that’s my hope.

I want to share knowledge because I’ve learned so much from others along my journey. On this site, you’ll find a growing collection of free tools — they’re here for you.

I’m committed to creating more content: lessons, tutorials, and free/open-source software. This is how I give back to the community that has given me so much.
