Hi I'm monostrider. I'm a young, self-taught programmer with a keen interest in embedded systems and a strong desire to develop my own hardware. Currently, I am focused on creating a minimalist, lightweight, and optimized digital micro-ecosystem, free from unnecessary bloat and overcomplexity.

// BACKGROUND

I have fallen in love with programming about 4 years ago, and I've been a linux user for about 2 years at the time of writing. I am very grateful that awsome free and open-source software such as linux exist. They saved me from decending into madness, in this bloated, proprietary world full of sick media and disgusting data farming.

I am currently studying business supportive computer sciences (still) in secondary schooling; Although I find the curriculum fairly boring.

My uncle introduced me to electronic music production a few years ago, but I have been struggling to finance the hobby. I am also kindof dissapointed that there aren't any readily available, in my oppinion good, standalone devices on the market. I prefer minimal, rave drum and bass and techno house music.

// GOALS

I firmly believe in the principles of free, lightweight, and open-source software. My goal is to contribute by introducing fresh ideas and innovative improvements from an alternative perspective.
I'm eager to also delve into and openly discuss the subject of self-improvement.
