Hello, welcome to my tiny corner of the Internet! My projects, contributions, beliefs and ideas in Open Source Software (or differential yet equally nerdy subjects) are showcased here.

Quite a lot of my personal life can be elided, with the most notable points being: I started my journey in digital art at a very young age. Around the same time, I was also curious about the sciences of computers and electronics down to their very fundamentals. Soon after, I learned to write batch scripts, wrote very rudimentary game mods and continued studying for the arts of such things up to today.

With interests in Computer Science, Anthropology and Psychology, I find value in the technologies and teachings of social causes and public benefit. Movements akin to the Free Software Foundation and the Free Art License (published in Françias; available in English) are some of my favorite references for sustaining an ethical, 'Copyleft' attitude; inspiring optimism for a freer and fairer world where ingenuity, integrity and ethics prevails in technology for the betterment of Humanity.

My hobbies include music production (with synthesizers and a Digitakt), writing fanfic and novels strictly for myself, CAD/3D printing, pencil art and calligraphy. I’m practicing more self-care too, which as it turns out, is very important for one’s wellbeing. There’s a lot of smaller things to boast, but… you can rightly imagine they’re very nerdy at this point so I’ll save you the words.

In ceasing my endless ramblings, I’d also like to take a moment to appreciate and thank-you for stopping by today! For questions or inquiries, Contact me.
