Hey, this is Davide.
I'm a a DevOps Engineer in Milan, with a strong Software Engineering background.
I like putting Arch Linux on things. I like hardware that doesn't phone home, unless that home is mine.
Wanna see what I enjoy working on? Here's a few projects of mine I'm particularly proud of:
- EtchDroid (
Kotlin) is a popular app that lets you rootlessly write GNU/Linux distro images to USB drives on Android - Wi-Se (hw/sw) (
KICAD/C++) is a wireless UART adapter board - My shitty DNS proxy (
Go) is very shitty but it has been solving all my home network DNS woes since 2022! - LevIoT (hw/sw) (
KiCAD/Py) is a custom PCB for my home air purifier - I reverse-engineered my laptop's fingerprint reader (
Py) and wrote a driver for it for GNU/Linux in libfprint (C/GLib).
You may also find my gists interesting and useful.
I have a separate place for forked repos: @depau-forks
I accept sponsorships and donations through different methods, see EtchDroid's donations page.
Note
While every contribution is deeply appreciated, donations don't equate to special treatment or support. All my projects are hobby projects, and I dedicate time to them as my schedule allows. I welcome suggestions and bug reports from all users, donor or not.
I may be available for contract work though, send me an email if interested!
