Free & Open Source Software enthusiast, advocating for better process management in FOSS projects. Maintainer of Ariel OS and RIOT; assisting FOSS projects with governance, strategy, documentation and community as a freelancer. Learning Rust as first programming language.

I program #SpringBoot web services and have now managed to avoid managing people. I used to program dev tools & before that, program mobile phones.

Once ran the same early Windows 8 build instance on both a hypervisor and native boot.

Old enough to remember #Symbian #C++.

I really like painting miniature figures like those produced for #warhammer, but am not so keen on #GamesWorkshop.

#OnePageRules is my current #TableTop #Wargaming jam.
