About
Hi, I'm Christopher Portillo. I own three businesses in Northwest Arkansas: Interlinux Innovations (managed IT and cybersecurity), Bolder Coffee (a coffee shop and roaster in Fayetteville and Rogers), and Flamecraft Fireworks.
I'm most at home with technology: computers, programming, AI, server administration and IT infrastructure. I self-host my own services, including this website.
When I'm not behind a keyboard, I'm usually outdoors: camping, fishing or hiking.
