====== About pfm ======

//pfm// is the nickname I’ve started using quite a long time ago (perhaps between 2002–2005). My real name is Piotr Mieszkowski and this is my personal wiki. I’m a software engineer interested in clean, simple and working designs. Most of the time I write Scala code, but I can also find my way around in codebases in other languages, such as Java, PHP, Common Lisp, Elixir or Perl (see some examples [[#technologies_i_ve_tried|below]]).

I use [[emacs|GNU Emacs]].

Opinions published here are my own and not of my employer.

===== Technologies I've tried =====

  * **Common Lisp**: [[https://git.sr.ht/~pfm/gas|GAS]] --- a DNA sequence assembly utility. Not very mature, but works for ABIF and FASTA files. I've also done some minor work on McCLIM, see [[https://github.com/McCLIM/McCLIM/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+alexandria+author%3Apefimo|list of my changes]].
  * **Forth**: [[https://git.sr.ht/~pfm/forth-kata|Forth Kata]] --- includes [[wp>Zeller's_congruence|Zeller's congruence]] implementation.
  * **Makefile**, **POSIX utilities**: [[https://git.sr.ht/~pfm/makeweb|Makeweb]], a static-site generator using [[https://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/|multimarkdown]] as the only non-POSIX dependency.
  * **Python**: [[lacre:overview|Lacre]] --- an email encryption software.
  * **Rust**: [[https://git.sr.ht/~pfm/bf/|bf]] --- a [[wpen>Brainfuck]] interpreter; [[projects:split-bill|split-bill]] --- a tool to settle shared expenses. (Note: as of 2024-07-28, I'm still learning Rust.)
