Short Biography

My interest in computers began with gaming and gradually grew into a curiosity about how systems work. During my studies I moved to GNU/Linux, which opened the door to the open-source world and led me to appreciate Debian’s culture and the way people work together on packaging.

Since then, my contributions have ranged from WNPP work and package adoptions to general maintenance. I am currently involved with the Python and Rust teams, co-maintaining the Hyprland-ecosystem and package a few Neovim plugins. I have always enjoyed simple, minimal tools, especially TUIs and customizable setups.

I recently started a PhD in Computer Science, where my academic interests include hardware architecture, networks, and protocols. Outside of computing, I like to balance things out with hiking, cooking, and exploring new things. I value Debian’s community and philosophy and intend to remain involved long-term, contributing wherever I can be helpful.
