I like writting stuff that does stuff. Sometimes on purpose.

Scouting report

Kotlin/Nix tinkerer with deep dev-environment discipline

assessed from open-source footprint

Staff
73signal

Diego leans infra-as-craft — a meticulous Neovim config and a full dotfiles repo (NixOS, Lua, Shell) signal someone who tunes their toolchain seriously, across a broad Kotlin/Python/Go/Lua stack. The caveat: a 0.52 abandoned ratio, only 4 total stars and no deployed projects mean little of this is product-facing or externally validated. Best for backend/platform roles where a Nix-native, terminal-first engineer is an asset; confirm shipped work in interview.
