You have reached the personal homepage of an on-line entity known as derf / derfnull. Hi! 👋

About

I enjoy doing things and post some of them on this website. Things may include taking photos, poking at public transit APIs, or putting caffeine into chocolate. Blinkenlights and embedded development are nice, too, though I don't really get around to that anymore.

At work, I research performance modeling and performance-aware configuration methods for software and hardware product lines. Please refer to my professional website for details.

You can reach me by E-Mail (d​erf@fina​lr​ewind.org) and on IRC (derf0 @ oftc, hackint). My PGP key for E-Mail encryption is 64FE6EC0 55560F9E F13A3044 19E6E524 EBB177BA. I occasionally post stuff on the Fediverse (@derf@social.skyshaper.org). Outside of the internet, there is a good chance of finding me at the Chaosdorf Häkelspace hackspace.

The remainder of this page duplicates a curated sub-set of projects and the latest blog entries.
