Hi, I'm Nikita πŸ‘‹

DevOps / SRE engineer β€” Kubernetes, Linux internals, C/C++ & Python. I like the boundary between infrastructure and low-level code, and I contribute fixes upstream when tools break under me.


πŸ”§ Open Source Contributions

conan-io/conan β€” the C/C++ package manager (9.4kβ˜…)

  • βœ… merged #19965 β€” fix cppstd_flag for the clang-cl driver in C++23 / C++26 / gnu++ modes
  • πŸ”„ in review #19963 β€” conan.tools.gnu.is_mingw() helper (+ docs PR)
  • πŸ’¬ RFC #19964 β€” offline sources fallback for air-gapped builds

ollama/ollama β€” local LLM runtime (176kβ˜…)

  • πŸ”„ in review #16661 β€” mlxrunner: validate affine quant params against packed tensor shapes
  • πŸ”„ in review #16663 β€” convert: read top-level text fields for text-only gemma4 configs
