I am Philipp (@phip1611) and interested in Open Source development of modern, robust, and high-quality software. In the last few years, I worked professionally, as well as in my free time, on a wide range of projects in different domains, such as low-level development (operating systems, micro controllers, virtualization, device drivers) and small distributed enterprise web applications. I gained a lot of skills for convenient machine and environment setups for a high developer productivity, continuous integration, and more.

I am especially interested in investing time for a better developer productivity, such as developer-focused tools, documentation, and similar improvements. Easy to use and reproducible build-systems are an important step towards these goals.

About

Especially, I enjoy creating various minimal examples with a good documentation for topics and programming problems, where I am not satisfied with existing open-source solutions. Whenever I come to the conclusion that the there is no good or helpful guide available on the internet, I create one on my GitHub and/or write about it in my blog https://phip1611.de.

I see my future primarily in low-level development of firmware, operating systems, kernels, and virtualization. In this process, I strive to transform ugly undocumented code to nice, well documented, and easy to use code.
