Also, if you don't want me to have to keep A/B testing my LinkedIn, feel free to hire me?
I'm primarily a Rust & C++ dev, with additional work experience in Ruby and Clojure. I have hobby/school experience in a pile of other languages. I daily-drive Linux. I consider myself a systems programmer. The joke that "I'm a full stack engineer - I can code in the kernel and in userspace" applies to me.
I prefer to work on free software when I can, but it's by no means a requirement. My experience engaging with and supporting open-source community contributors translates well to supporting developers internally, as well as to roles which involve developer advocacy or evangelism.
My current hobby projects are a Rust microkernel, and a Kerbal Space Program add-on which displays mission control graphics on a vintage Tektronix graphical terminal.

The #IBM #mainframe: How it runs and why it survives
They’re used almost exclusively by the largest companies in the world, including 2/3 of Fortune 500 companies, 45 of the world’s top 50 banks, 8 of the top 10 insurers, seven of the top 10 global retailers, and eight of the top 10 telecommunications companies. And most of those mainframes come from IBM.
