Hello, my name is Filipe Laíns and I am an open source developer from Portugal.

I enjoy designing clean and correct solutions to software problems and I am interested in hardware design, analysis and reverse engineering, however I don't have any formal education in electrical engineering.

Over the years, I've contributed to several open source projects and eventually gained maintainership of some of them. Some of the projects I maintain are Arch Linux, a Linux distribution, where I am a packager, and libratbag, a DBus daemon to configure input peripherals. I have also contributed to some other relevant projects like the Linux kernel, Wireshark, CPython (the reference implementation of the Python programming language) and the Meson build system.

There are several languages I am proficient at but the main are C and Python.

Companies wanting to sponsor the development of Linux drivers, please contact me first via email.

Projects I maintain:

• Python
• Arch Linux
• libratbag
• pypa/build
• pyproject-metadata
• openinput
• python-hid-parser

Thank you 😊
