Hey there o/

I'm a student on my gap year before college, with years of experience working on many different projects. Currently, I'm working full-time at Apconic Software Pvt Ltd, and in my spare time, I work on multiple open-source projects.

• 🎆 I have in-depth experience using JavaScript (TypeScript, Node.js, React, React Native and associated tools like Babel and webpack), Java (not a lot with major frameworks other than a bit of Spring), Kotlin and Golang (a personal favourite). I started learning programming with Python, but I haven't worked with it seriously in a long time. I've used MySQL/MariaDB, MongoDB, PostgreSQL and Redis and I'm definitely interested in using more like Cassandra and Elastisearch in the future. I've worked with a variety of technologies and read about many more, so this is by no means an exhaustive list.
• 🐧 I'm highly experienced with using Linux and system administration (tools like systemd, package management with apt/rpm, repairing broken systems, livepatch/kpatch, maintenance, system partitioning, database setup, nginx, etc).
• 🔍 I'm really good at googling and following the xkcd tech support cheat sheet.
• 🔭 I’m currently working on EnderChat (a modern React Native rewrite of ChatCraft), octyne/ecthelion (a process manager with an HTTP API/dashboard), writer (GUI app to flash ISOs), modpack (an installer for my personal Fabric mods), bug-tracker (a GitHub issues clone), coupe-video (website to cut videos with your CPU, no watermarks or uploading), and last but not least, extensive work on MythicMC including a custom store and many plugins in Java/Kotlin. You can find my GitLab for fun projects as well. This isn't an exhaustive list, I work on many projects in my spare time.
• 🌱 I’m currently learning how to write a programming language and getting more familiar with C++ and Rust.
• 🎓 I'm currently dealing with looking up colleges and considering the MongoDB certification exam.
• 📰 I've previously worked on ez.chat (could restart in free time), Area51 (serve files over HTTP), decaffeinater, reconsole and electron-installer-linux.
• 💬 Ask me about anything I know! I'm sure I can help you out and point you in the right direction, from hardware and software issues to programming problems, especially with languages I know, and otherwise having read about many different technologies.
• 📫 How to reach me: Likely my committer address :^) You can find me on GitHub at @retrixe, and I have a Discord server where you can talk to me directly here.
• ⚡ Fun fact: Samsung is currently ~20% of South Korea’s GDP.
• 🐛 Good tip: Minimise external dependencies in your projects.
