I'm known online as **redstrate**, and I create things to fill my own niche. I program, draw, and occasionally make bad music and edit videos. I'm a contributor to open source projects, and also a [KDE](https://kde.org) developer and [KDE e.V.](https://ev.kde.org) member. In my free time, I like to cook and study languages (real world and programming ones!) Of course, also play way too many video games!
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](/software/tags/c), [C++](/software/tags/cplusplus), and [Rust](/software/tags/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 have a complete collection of my art I've created in [my gallery]({{< ref "art" >}}). I'm not a professional artist so my schedule tends to be erratic. My preferred software is [Krita](https://krita.org) and [Blender](https://blender.org). I also like to animate, but I don't really have the time to sit down and do it.
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.
# Languages
English is my first language, but currently learning two new languages. Here is my current progress:
*Japanese*: &#9733; &#9734; &#9734; &#9734; &#9734;
*German*: &#9733; &#9734; &#9734; &#9734; &#9734;

As you can probably tell, I like working with [Linux](https://kernel.org/), and using alternative operating systems in general. My preferred desktop environment is [KDE](https://kde.org) and I prefer using [Fedora Linux](https://getfedora.org) and [Gentoo](https://gentoo.org/).
