Short Biography
I am a software engineer interested in Free Software, Debian packaging, developer tools, and simple, operable systems.
My current Debian work is around clnkr, a small Go command-line coding agent. I filed ITP #1135616, packaged clnkr using the Debian Go Packaging Team workflow on Salsa, and Stephen Gelman sponsored the initial clnkr 0.3.11-1 upload to unstable. The package is maintained under the Debian Go Packaging Team, with me listed as an uploader. I have also contributed patches to the pgbouncer packaging.
I would like to become a Debian Maintainer so I can take responsibility for package-specific clnkr uploads while the package is moving quickly, with Stephen's guidance and review where appropriate. My near-term goals are to maintain clnkr carefully, continue learning Debian packaging practice, and contribute useful fixes responsibly.
