| About |
{{< profile-picture >}}
I'm known as redstrate, and I create things to fill my own niche. I program, draw, and occasionally make bad music and edit videos. I'm an infrequent contributor to open source projects, and also a KDE developer. In my free time, I like to cook and study languages (the linguistic kind).
I like developing software that I would personally use, and it also fills a niche or problem that either isn't adequately solved, or maybe just want to learn how to do it myself. My languages of choice usually are C, C++, and Rust - and that's what you'll find most of the projects using!
Drawing has been a hobby of mine ever since childhood, and I try to draw when I can. I'm not a professional artist (nor ever will be) so my posting schedule is erratic. My preferred software is Krita and Blender. I also like to animate, but I don't really get the chance to sit down and do it anymore.
I also like to administrate my own servers, and that's what's hosting the website you're reading right now! You can find more details about this setup below.
