Who

Hello everyone! You may know me from these places:

• The #emacs, #evil-mode, #chicken and #scheme channels on Libera.chat
• The chicken-users and chicken-hackers mailing lists
• https://emacs.stackexchange.com/
• https://old.reddit.com/r/emacs/
• https://github.com/wasamasa
• https://emacsninja.com/
• https://brause.cc/

I'm an infosec consultant with a software development background. I've run into Emacs in 2013 and got into Lisp development in 2015. I have extensive experience with Emacs Lisp and CHICKEN Scheme and use them for recreational development. I like to help out people and the projects I believe in, so I've set up this account to receive donations for my work.

What I do

• Emacs packages
• Emacs support
• CHICKEN Scheme hacking
• Other Scheme hacking (R5RS/R7RS)
• Other Lisp hacking (Clojure, ClojureScript, Picolisp, TXR, MAL)
• Web development
• Proof of concept work (for example emulating video games in Emacs)
• (Security) Source code review
• Talks

Projects

This is a selection of what I believe to be the most important projects I contribute to. My contributions are logged here. Further projects are available on my self-hosted static Git repository website: https://depp.brause.cc/.

Future work

I want to relieve pain points when working with Emacs and Scheme implementations. I'm particularly interested in those with a good effort/benefit ratio, as these tend to be easier to fulfill than more ambitious goals. Examples:

• Providing a GTK binding for CHICKEN Scheme: Solved with the gtk-server egg.
• Improving the CHICKEN Scheme wiki search results to not list outdated results by default: Solved by adjusting the search database query.
• Providing SICP eggs: Solved by submitting the srfi-203 and srfi-216 eggs to the coop.

Please contact me for further ideas what to work on.
