Currently a software engineering student. Have primarily done full-stack web development, but my interest has grown toward backend services using low-level programming languages. I am still learning as I go.
I request that none of my projects gets hosted on platforms that are not open-source. This includes GitHub and GitLab, which has a proprietary software "Enterprise" edition. Otherwise, my projects are generally licensed as BSD 3-Clause License.
## Motivation
I value security, privacy, human health, and combating climate change. Technology can achieve all of this today to some extent. Unfortunately, we are in times of misinformation, Big Tech taking over, and science denial. In a world becoming seemingly more complex, people are overwhelmed and feel like they have no energy left to assess decisions. People do not hesitate to purchase the newest iPhone, without thinking about whether they truly need the newest device. Or they will install whatever application without thinking about possible consequences: what information is shared and sold about them, or they walk right into getting hacked and suffer financial losses and stress. Large corporations take advantage of people who do not understand such concepts; it has become all about consuming the next new thing to the detriment of people.

## Languages & Tools
### languages
I have experience and write in:
- Java
- JavaScript/TypeScript
I have limited experience and written in:
- PHP
- Arduino
- C++
- Lua
- Python
- Nix
I am currently learning:
- Rust
- Zig
I have lost interest in Java and OOP in general in my short time learning OOP. Meanwhile, I gained an interest in low-level programming languages, primarily Zig. I like the direction of the Zig project and wish to see what I can make. Rust, being more widely used and in a stable release, gets priority for me at this moment.
### Tools
My editor of choice is [Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim). Check my config [here](https://git.aramjonghu.dev/AramJonghu/nvim). I use my editor for writing code and reviewing code (using [octo.nvim](https://github.com/pwntester/octo.nvim)) for github only. I have not tried many editors, but vim motions have improved my efficiency in writing code. Open-source is also a motivation for not switching to something like vscode or intellij.
My terminal of choice is [Ghostty](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty), written in zig. I use it with [tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux). I can likely use tmux more efficiently to improve multiplexing efficiency.
I have started to use [Jujutsu](https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj) over git. It seems like a more straight forward way of version control than git. I am still new to jj, but interested in long term management. Using it alongside [jjui](https://github.com/idursun/jjui).
For my personal projects, I host them on my own Forgejo instance at https://git.aramjonghu.dev. This way software I share is truly my own and in my control, on an open-source platform. cgit is another option I considered. In retrospect, a neat option. Though it requires a separate CI service to perform CI/CD.

> The people behind SystemD seem passionate and oppose dystopian laws. I hope that when laws cross the line, real opposition will occur.
> **Q:** What languages do you actually use?
>
> **A:** Mainly use JavaScript/TypeScript (React) and Java as this is what I learned at school. Not a fan of either language.
> **Q:** What languages are you learning?
>
> **A:** Currently in the middle of learning Rust and Zig. I especially like the direction of Zig, but due to higher demand for Rust, I will be focusing on Rust first. I have not written any Rust yet. I have written a small Zig program, however.
> **Q:** Are you on LinkedIn?

> **A:** No. I quit in 2025, understanding that LinkedIn has been a platform to curate a fake image in a race for relevance. It is also owned by Microsoft, which is another deterrent. In my eyes, it is slop.
