Hi there!§

I am Farid, an undergrad student & software developer (rustrustrust)

Currently I am not developing any open-source projects, as I used to do in the past (books and my job consume most of my time). Though I’m always looking for new projects to contribute! If you have one - feel free to reach out to me. You can learn more about my open source activities on my Github

My favourite game is Portal 2. Space Core is the best character ever. You deserve to know this.

I’m interested in:

• Software development
• Programming languages (parsing, writing compilers/interpreters)
• OSes
• Math

Tech I use§

I am happily running Linux (arch btw) for more than a year at this point (Mar 2025). Before that, I used WSL (Ubuntu, I think) for another year.

Stuff I know/do (decently well):

• Low level (not really):

  • Rust (>⩊<)
  • C (love-hate relationship)
  • C++ (cmake partially made me switch to rust)

• Linux (arch btw x2)

• Git (do you expect anything else?)

• Other:

  • Python

    A Python program has to fit on a screen, otherwise it’s too long.

  • Postgres

    Just use Postgres for everything

  • Java (+ all the pain involved: maven, gradle), a bit of Kotlin/JS

    Bygone days

• Occasional contributions to open-source projects
