A rodent turning cheese into code. I'm also into algorythmic music, analog synthesis and pixelart.

I work on Arch Linux Package Management (ALPM) and @ratatui_rs, I also maintain few of my own open source projects such as mousefood and serde_more.

Mouse gotta eat too, so if you have a rust foss work for me, I'm open for freelance.

Check out my website, it's extra cheesy, has RSS and html marquee - what else do you want?

Wish I had more time to work on this but I guess at least I'm consistent.

Who’s excited to play Python 4 on SnakeStation 6? They said there will never be Python 4, but here it is! Woah look at these graphics! It’s almost like a real snake!

You can now buy items in I mean... I can, you can't because I'm far from releasing it. I plan to release a demo in Q1 2026.

If you like what I'm doing and would want to see this game released, consider a donation, I'm doing this all in my free time powered only by passion and dry cat food.

Looks like I finally got some momentum with this one. Of course I use to draw UI in as this perfectly matches the vibe.

:ablobcatbongo: „Ratatui - Are We Embedded Yet?” talk is finally online!

I gave the same talk at Rust Gdansk 9 and Rust Poland 1, this recording is from the second meetup.

It’s my first talk (not counting lightning talks) and I struggle with public speaking :blobcatfakeverified: (trying to change that) but I hope you like it.

Btw. Terminal/presentation had to be re-recorded afterwards so that’s why typing is not in sync.
