I'm Kerkko Pelttari, a compsci student and professional programmer from Finland. I'm a programming enthusiast, sometimes spending my free time reading documentation and writing dotfiles. I like learning new programming languages, and that is some of what I do as "free-time programming".

Currently I'm somewhat busy with creating open-source on paid work time, but whenever I have time I might contribute to a variety of projects. Sponsorshipping will shift some of my attention to less commercial open-source whenever possible.

I'm presenting neovim/neovim as featured work because I once got a couple line bash commit in, but I will try to contribute in the future again. I've spent many days reading modifying neovim plugins as well, but haven't gotten any actual contributions done yet.

ActivityWatch is the project where I have contributed most commits as pure open source work. I've also gotten paid for some work there from a grant, but I aim to keep continuing contributing at some point.

I've done a lot of building of "commercial open source" at robocorp/rpaframework and MarketSquare/robotframework-browser. This has also let me do some research into upstream software, and at some point using these skills I might attempt to for example create Playwright bindings for a new language (probably Rust).

I will probably use funds gotten here as a sort of "developer budget", paying for my hosting fees, dev licenses etc. when possible.

I like talking about code so independent of sponshorships, especially if you have come across me in a git blame message, please message / mail me and lets talk.
