Origins & Journey
I was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. My father, Rene Bon Echavarría, was completing his master's degree there when he met my mother, Vojislava Ćirić.
Shortly after, our family moved to Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico, where my father's family originates and my brother Atilano Bon Ćirić was born. Over the years, life took us through Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, and Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua — including formative years working outdoors on my father's farm, Rancho Cositas, which instilled a habit of practical root-cause problem solving. After more than a decade in Guadalajara, I now live and work in Ixtlahuacán de los Membrillos, Jalisco, near Lake Chapala.
Engineering & Philosophy
I work as a Principal Infrastructure Architect, Systems Engineer, AI Systems Engineer, and Free & Open Source Software maintainer. Driven by two core verbs — to build and to explore — I focus on technological sovereignty, vendor lock-in mitigation, deterministic automation, and defense-in-depth GNU/Linux infrastructure (SELinux Enforcing) across Crystal, Go, C++23, Bash, and RPM ecosystems.
As an official Fedora Project package maintainer and founder of the MxOS Foundation, I maintain open compilation pipelines, structured reference documentation, and over 60 client environments through EVALinux.
Creative Commons Music
“If technology is my prose, music is my poetry.”
Outside infrastructure, I am a multi-instrumentalist (keyboards, bass, guitar) and producer releasing rock, electronica, and orchestral works under Creative Commons licenses — including introbella and solo releases such as Nocturnal Overtures and Trikutraca — shared freely on Free Music Archive.
