Hey!

I am someone who is passionate about programming, GNU/Linux, and open source. I build cool stuff using Rust.


I am involved in:

  • Arch Linux, a lightweight and flexible Linux distribution that tries to Keep It Simple.
    • I am a package maintainer for 1.5+ years and I maintain 100+ packages in the official repositories.
    • My primary goal is to improve the Rust ecosystem for users. I work closely with upstream sources to patch projects and add new features.
  • Spicy Lobster Studio, a gamedev company built with openness, kindness, and curiosity.
    • I work on infrastructure, build-related issues, and releases of the open source games that are mostly written in Rust.

I am currently working on:

  • Building open source projects
    • So many ideas and yet so little time to build!
    • I'm doing my best to involve in any creative process, or be the one that creates the process!
  • Maintaining my open source projects
    • I fix reported bugs, improve security and add new features.
    • I create releases periodically and announce them on social platforms.
  • Contributing to open source
    • If I see something is missing, why I can't be the one that adds it?
    • I believe software can be pushed to its limit to be eggscellent.
  • Learning/practicing open source in every aspect of my life

Through GitHub Sponsors, I would like to achieve:

  • a sustainable income for my daily needs (e.g. Turkish tea)
  • a budget for my open source related expenses (e.g. server fees for a public instance)
  • a burst of motivation for doing more open source!

My dream is to exclusively work on open source one day. 🌌
I will get one step closer if you sponsor me! 🐻

I would like to get my open source work sponsored by fellow open source maintainers/developers and also potentially bigger organizations. Or anyone who is interested and wants to help, really!
