<markdown> ### About Me Looks like you found my website. I suppose introductions are in order. My name's Tristan, I'm an avid Dutch-South African software consultant working in the UK. You probably either met me at an open source conference, a hackathon, a badminton session or at a roleplaying table. If not, well, this is also a great place to "meet" me. Have a nosey! ### This Website There is not a whole lot here at the moment. You may find the following interesting though: - A [little web app](~/src/music_sample.html) showing off what WebGL can do in combination with the JavaScript Audio interface. </markdown>
<markdown> ### My Work I'm a software consultant working for [Codethink](https://www.codethink.co.uk) in Manchester, UK. Our specializaiton is open source software, so this has allowed me to directly contribute to a number of open source projects, notably [BuildStream](https://www.gitlab.com/buildstream/buildstream), an integration tool for large software stacks. I've given a couple of talks on it, as well: - Build meetup 2017 - Build meetup 2018 - Build meetup 2019 Outside of work for Codethink, I'm generally interested in things such as NixOS and other tools that assist maintaining Linux systems - mostly born out of my pursuit of the perfect Linux desktop (feel free to have a browse through my [dotfiles](https://github.com/tlater/dotfiles)). I also just enjoy Programming, my core languages currently are Rust, Python, Lisp and JavaScript (including a number of frameworks and tools for these), although I have hopes to eventually reduce these to just Rust ;) If you're interested in seeing these things for yourself, visit my [Gitlab](https://gitlab.com/tlater) and [GitHub](https://github.com/tlater) pages. </markdown>
