Hi! I'm Nano and I accidentally fell in love with coding when I was 13. Since then pretty much all I do is programming and designing stuff, making music and writing stories and poems (and performing them). I try my best to do all of these things as open-source as possible and love interacting with the community.

Lately I've been working on (re)organizing the creative conglomerate Pumpn Universe, especially Pumpn Code and putting all my inspiration and experience of the last few years into that. Unfortunately I'm an overthinking idealist and perfectionist, so this includes writing standards, carefully maintaining repository templates, crafting hopefully somewhat future-proof configs and designing logos. Currently all of that may seem personal, but I do think my work can have some value for the open-source community, mainly the templates and configs.

The rare moments I'm not falling down a rabbit hole, I'm doing things with

• howt, an organization working on
  • a replacement for the outdated, Windows-only workbench of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
  • a modern suit of tools for working with its texture formats
  • unified libraries de- and encoding common game texture compression algorithms like DXT
• schrel, a sane JSON schema for real estate listings, hopefully evolving into a standard someday
• lerc, an experiment on automating compilation videos and channels
• laclap, the language classification project

All these adventures were and are possible because I was still in school when I started most of them and due to the fact I actually later managed to get a decent developer job and kept if for almost a year. I eventually lost that job and was unable to find a new one since then for various personal reasons. Even though I'm confident in finding a new one lately and currently receive unemployment benefits (not for long anymore though), even a small donation would help me out a lot. If you or your company use any of my code, a sponsorhship would be greatly appreciated. My dream would be to be able to make creative stuff full-time, mainly open-source coding.

Btw: The sponsorship tiers are based on the ranks in Rocket League, my favorite game to play when procrastinating. Also, the site https://pumpn.net/nnmrts/thanks doesn't exist (yet). I'll either be able to work on that later this year or as soon as someone sponsors me in one of the tiers that get you featured there.

You can find my resume here. And yes, my real name is Anton. 🙃

Thank you for your support!
