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

If not, well, this is also a great place to "meet" me. Have a

### 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'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've given a couple of talks on it, as well:

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)).
This has since culminated in a strong fondness for
[NixOS](https://nixos.org/) and nix - I post a lot on the
[discourse](https://discourse.nixos.org/).
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 ;)
I also just enjoy Programming, my core languages for personal work
are currently probably Rust and Python, although I have a very
varied background, in part due to my former work as a consultant,
which required new languages every few months. This goes from
JavaScript over Elm to Kotlin, but eventually I hope I might only
need to write Rust ;)
