Programmer and computer enthusiast.
In June 2024 I observed a regression that caused Wayland -based compositors to stop working on one of my systems. Later that year, in October, I dedicated a weekend to see if I could figure out what went wrong and where.
I've been spending more of my spare time in recent years studying the Linux source tree to try to build a deeper understanding of how computers work. As a result, I've started accumulating patches that fix issues with hardware I own. I decided to try upstreaming one of these patches to familiarize myself with the kernel development process.
A few years ago, I got into the habit of keeping thorough notes on projects I'm working on to make it easier for me to track my progress and jump between projects. I want to improve my technical writing, so I'm taking on a new project to turn these project notes into blog posts on this new website.
