I'm an independent open source software developer from & presently residing in Hamburg, Germany.

Having grown up in a multilingual and -cultural environment, I've cultivated an avid passion for my native Spanish (Chilean/Andalusian dialect) and German (Northern Germany/Hamburg dialect), as well as English (British English,) at CEFR level C1 according to personal judgment, and Classical Arabic plus an assortment of dialects at CEFR level A2-B1. As circumstances would have it, this came to include languages habitually spoken solely by computers within the context of the fields of systems programming and engineering on predominantly UNIX-like and, to some extent, Windows platforms.

I have a strong interest in the intersection of creativity, spoken languages, oral poetry on one hand and, on the other, expressiveness and an emphasis on aesthetic qualities in programming and engineering with a view to design and implement maintainable, composable, and well-documented software, preferentially eschewing abstraction and overly complicated code poor in breadth of expressive modalities.

In my spare time, I like to occasionally write short stories and poems, draw comics depicting the futile absurdities of the human condition and existence in general, translate Arabic poetry (badly,) compose gargantuan walls of text on applied transfeminine endocrinology, take long walks whilst pondering the phenomenological implications of alphabet soup, offer sacrifices to Enki and Labata Ištar, cook, and impose long, drawn-out sentences upon project README files or websites for reasons left unspecified.

I have participated in and continue to participate in open source projects. Please refer to Open source projects involvement as well as this GitHub profile for further information.
