I am a student who cares about building software and systems that respect the people who use them. My interests sit where security and reproducibility meet — I value software that does not falter and can provide an honest and verifiable account of its true purpose.

• I have used Linux for over 8 years and NixOS for over 3.
• I care about security-respecting tools that provide understandable and honest results.
• I learn Python and Nix so I can build and debug software, and define reproducible systems in code.
• I am often given more responsibilities than I ask for when working in groups. On a group project I was chosen by my team to lead and review the application.
• I work and learn well without close supervision, and I would rather explain a fix so someone understands it than simply apply it for them.
• I would rather ship something with good documentation and reproducibility than a cluttered, buggy mess that only works on my machine.

I am looking for a remote junior role in software development or system administration.
