--- layout: page title: Interests permalink: /interests/ --- Here, you can find some other things that are of interest to me. # Computer-Related As someone who uses [NixOS](https://nixos.org), I am extremely interested in the Nix world. * [Nix](https://github.com/NixOS/Nix) language/package manager * [nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs), a collection of Nix expressions for building packages, including packages required for the NixOS operating system * The [home-manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager) project, for managing your home directory dotfiles in a Nix-y way. I have made several contributions to home-manager: * Refactor the [mbsync/isync](https://isync.sourceforge.io/) [configuration module](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/1360) for greater control over how email is fetched. * Add a [configuration module](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/1353) for [mu](https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/), an email indexing and searching program. In addition, as I enjoy C programming, but enjoy the type-correctness of Haskell, [Rust](https://rust-lang.org) has been of particular interest for me. Also, as a Computer Engineer, I am also thoroughly interested by the hardware side of things too. As far as computer/CPU architectures are concerned, I am interested in [RISC-V](https://github.com/riscv). # Athletics To stay fit and healthy, I regularly: * Go on runs several miles long * Practice [Tang Soo Do](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang_Soo_Do) # Languages I have learned Spanish to a near fluent capacity, although I have not spoken it in some time.
I also started learning Swedish, while studying abroad at [Lunds Tekniska Högskola](https://www.lth.se). # Multimedia I enjoy television just as much as the next person. Some of my favorite shows are: * [*Altered Carbon*](https://thetvdb.com/series/altered-carbon) * [*Doom Patrol*](https://thetvdb.com/series/doom-patrol) * [*Titans* (2018)](https://thetvdb.com/series/titans-2018) * [*Samurai Jack*](https://thetvdb.com/series/samurai-jack) * *Star Trek* - The only I have not watched is the original series. * [*The Umbrella Academy*](https://thetvdb.com/series/the-umbrella-academy) * [*Watchmen*](https://thetvdb.com/series/watchmen)
