              ### 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
              engineer. 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.

              ### My Work

              I'm interested in a variety of things in the open source
              world. Perhaps thanks to my pursuit of the perfect Linux desktop,
              this has revolved a lot around reproducible build and deployment
              systems for the last few years, initially starting with
              [BuildStream](https://buildstream.build/) back in ~2017. I gave a
              couple of talks on it at build meetups in the UK in subsequent
              years, though sadly most evidence of that appears to have
              disappeared.

              Since then this has culminated in a strong fondness for
              [NixOS](https://nixos.org/) and Nix, as its active community makes
              private use cases much more feasible. As such, I have a vested
              interest in making this community as large as possible - I post a
              lot on the NixOS [discourse](https://discourse.nixos.org/) trying
              to help newcomers out where I can.

              I also just enjoy Programming, my core languages for personal work
              are currently probably Rust and Python, although I have a very
              varied background. This is in part due to my former work as a
              consultant, which required new languages every few months. I have
              experience from JavaScript over Elm to Kotlin, but eventually I
              hope I might only need to write Rust ;)
