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

|

|
||||
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 ;)
|
||||
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 ;)
