I'm an Research and Development engineer but that doesn't describe my job very
well. What I'm doing now doesn't neither, but it's a good way to show how
random my lifestyle is. All these points are the things I've been doing for the
last few months that are still active in my mind.
I'm the guy behind **ElenQ Technology**, as you know.
- I work on **R&D engineering** projects: programming, telecom, data...
- I **teach** advanced computing topics for companies or individuals who need
them. I prepare the courses on demand and sometimes they let me write actual
books as course material, that [I publish later][publishing]. Examples:
- Advanced Python
- Web Scraping
- Modern C++
- Advanced JavaScript
- Git
- C programming
- I also collaborate with a training company as a **teacher** for unemployed
people in my city, to help them find a job in the software development sector.

But also code a lot of free software:
- I'm a **Guix contributor** with commit access.
- I'm one of the people behind Guix's **RISC-V Bootstrapping** process and you
might know me because of that.
- I ported **Guile's JIT** to RISC-V, too
- And I collaborate in many random projects, maybe yours is next
I'm interested on programming languages and the design decisions behind them.
Programming languages I use:
- I code a lot in **Scheme**
- I code in C and Zig, too
- Since I teach it, I'm starting to like JavaScript
- Still do a lot of Python
- I do not find time to learn Haskell
- I'm able to code in many other languages, but I may or may not be
interested on starting my own projects on them.
**Art** is important in my life but I haven't taken care of myself with it in
long time. I'm back to it.
- **Sculpting**, mostly miniatures, has been the artistic task I've made
the most, and recently I've been making some molds of old miniatures I want
to preserve.
- I try to draw more
- I'm interested on bookbinding. I made several notebooks and photo albums for
my friends.
- I learned about leather craft and made some wallets too.
I do a lot of talking, specially in person. Come visit me.
- I have a simple podcast-like project in spanish, where I try to think about
many things: <https://thoughts.elenq.tech>
- I'm streaming my both loves (programming and art) on
[twitch][twitch][^twitch].
- I've given talks, some are in the internet:
- [Guix Social][guix.social]: Full Source Bootstrapping RISC-V
- [FOSDEM24][fosdem24]: RISC-V Bootstrapping in Guix and Live-Bootstrap
- [FOSDEM23][fosdem23]: Bringing RISC-V to Guix's bootstrap
- [FOSDEM22][fosdem22]: A year of RISC-V adventures: embracing chaos in
your software journey

[^twitch]: I don't like that kind of platforms, but it's hard to be out of
every single thing you don't like.
