Hi!

I’m Nik, I am a fully self taught developer who started programming at 17 and fell in love with it ever since.

In my free time I contribute to open source projects such as the Helix Editor as a hobby. Here are some of my most proud pull requests:

  • Adding file operations to the file explorer such as delete files, rename files – #12902
  • Implemented a Language Server Protocol feature that shows you colored boxes next to colors in the file, such as in CSS – #12308
  • and a bunch more…

I started with web development in TypeScript and React, it was fun but I realised that I am most interested in low-level performance optimizations, compilers, etc.

My favorite language is Rust, of course :), it’s the language that makes me feel really confident that my code isn’t going to explode once its in production.

I like monads. And NixOS!
