Hi! I'm IogaMaster

โ„๏ธ Nixifying everything

๐Ÿ“œ About me

How it all started:

12+ years ago, at age 6 I began programming. Creating minecraft plugins and mods.

At age 10, while experimenting with Windows I corrupted my boot partition. This lead me to install my first Linux distro, Linux Mint. Over the years I hopped a few distros, landing on Arch linux.

In October of 2022, while using DOOM emacs. I stumbled across the creators NixOS dotfiles, I immediately began experimenting in a virtual machine. When preforming an update on Arch my installation broke. I figured it was a sign to ditch arch in favor of NixOS. I haven't looked back.

My journey in Open Source:

In early 2023 I began contributing to open source, just some basic typo fixes. My first serious work in open source began in July of that year, with my first nixpkgs pull request. Adding a builder function for zig packages. NixOS/nixpkgs#241741

At that time I joined the nix-community org and began maintaining the templates repo.

In January of 2024 I helped nix-community adopt a functional fork of Manix.

I maintain many packages in nixpkgs and help contribute to any projects I find useful.

I am trying to make a living doing Youtube and open source! I think information should be free, so I continue condensing my knowlege into concise tech explainer videos. As well as creating useful tools in the Nix ecosystem and beyond.
