On the 1st of February 2025, I presented a project at FOSDEM 2025 Social Web track. I am very glad I got to participate in this one, as I have been passionately involved in the fediverse since I have joined in 2022.

I talked about Elk, which is is a nimble Mastodon client with great attention to user experience, boasting features such as being a Progressive Web App (PWA), support for code blocks with syntax highlighting, chronological threading, and markdown formatting.

In this talk, I gave a brief history of Elk development from the perspective of a contributor who has never written a Vue component (before Elk), some key features of the web application, and a look forward to the future of the project.

Hello there, fellow human!

Welcome to my personal blog! Glad you are here.

Like you, I have many areas of interest. And you will find here a collection of my posts on varying topics which are not confined to my "professional" work.

There may be some topics that pop up more than others. Technology posts are mostly about web development, and may be more relatable to people who have found me for my development work. More opinionated personal posts are where I talk about stuff I find interesting because of their potential to help others as much as they have helped me.

I strive to keep things organized, and have created a page that lists all topics I have covered so far. However, other topics are likely to be added in the future.

Thank you for the interest in reading. I look forward to any feedback or even the possibility of collaboration. Hit me up about any topic you find here! Below are my contact details.
