I’m just a guy who sits in front of a mini-LED screen nearly every day, staring at a dark theme and filling blank spaces with combinations of letters (A–Z, a–z) and numbers, with a strong interest in Linux, open-source software, and low-level systems. Outside of all that, I play drums 🥁 and occasionally dive into random deep reads 📚.

Talking Linux? My main distro was Ubuntu, but I’ve hopped through Kali Linux, Parrot OS, Lubuntu, and Tails (yes, I’m a hopper 🧭). And sure, I say I’m “trying” Arch Linux, but let’s be real, I’m typing this on macOS (its battery 🔋 life won my heart) 😅. Lately, I’ve been exploring Rust 🦀 and once ran a Bitcoin node on a Raspberry Pi 4, just for the thrill of it (didn’t turn out great tho).

I was among the Solana Summer Fellows ‘24, I’ve built on the Solana blockchain and remain deeply interested in all things decentralized.

Recently, I worked on the Plunk Rust SDK 🦀, which is now the official community SDK featured in the Plunk documentation. I’m also building an unofficial SDK for Polar.sh ❄️, both aimed at improving the developer experience within the open-source ecosystem.
