Introduction

Hey, I’m Pixel. I’m a high school student in electrical engineering. I’ve been into tech for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been programming for more than a year now. Most of what I know comes from messing around, breaking things, reading source code, and rebuilding them better :)

Skills & Languages

I mostly work with Rust and Python. I also use C, mainly for low-level stuff, X11, Wayland, and systems-related code. On the web side, I do full-stack work with Flask or mainly with my simple md-to-html converter called Paddex. My English level is around B2 and I’m learning Japanese from Genki Book.

Current Situation

Right now I’m in that weird in-between phase: I don't know if I should focus on my BAC exam or learn and build new stuff that lets me do well in life. I’m trying to squeeze as much as possible between learning for my BAC exam and working on my projects.

What I Like Building

I like small, focused tools. Stuff that does one thing well and doesn’t get in your way. I enjoy working close to the system—window managers. That’s why I’m planning to build my own Window Manager based on DWL.

My Projects

Some things I’ve built or am building: walrs, a tool that pulls color schemes from wallpapers to theme your system (similar to Pywal), pino-rs, a minimal and customizable notification daemon written in Rust, and upcoming projects. I also make a lot of small experimental tools that never really get a name.

Philosophy

Keep It Simple Stupid [KISS Principle]

My Setup

I use Void Linux, mostly with dwl. My usual tools are wmenu, foot as a terminal emulator, and Neovim. I browse with LibreWolf. All my configs and projects live on my GitHub.
