Free Software

I have a passion for developing Free Software. Here is a list of my Free Software projects. By Free Software, I mean "free" as in freedom, not "free" as in free of charge. Free Software respects the essential freedoms defined by the GNU Project, allowing users to use, study, modify, and share the software. For more information about this concept, see the GNU Project's definition of Free Software .

• Geonkick
• Entropictron
• Redkite GUI toolkit
• Neofluxon (a new project for photography). It is in the early stages of development; there is no official release yet.

I’m a GNU/Linux user, and I develop all my projects on it. I only use other operating systems when my professional work requires it.

Physics

From 2005 to 2013, I worked as an experimental researcher in semiconductor optics. I have always been curious about fundamental physics, so I continue to read and study this domain.

Wildlife Gardening

Wildlife gardening is one of my ways of connecting with nature. It could be called by various names, but the idea is the same: creating and caring for spaces that support biodiversity. I am raising a small orchard of mostly wild fruit trees and shrubs, establishing it as a habitat for wildlife. Through this process, I am learning about trees and other aspects of gardening, including how to prune and how to apply various techniques to increase biodiversity.

Photography & Music

In my free time, I enjoy nature photography and publish my photographs on Wikimedia Commons under the public domain. Additionally, in the past, I composed music solely using free software on GNU/Linux.

• Wikimedia Commons (all my photographs)
• SoundCloud (selected tracks from my old compositions)
