Andrey Petrov
Founder

I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS. I build, maintain, and contribute to open source software: https://github.com/shazow I sometimes help companies create new open source software or help them open source their internal codebases.
