Hi, my name is Liv. I live in Bonn, Germany. Nice to meet you!

This site is meant to be a brief introduction to myself, as well as to things I find interesting.

Some things about me

• I'm a software developer by trade (I'm currently not for hire).
• I hike a lot, preferably 15km+, at least once a week.
• I use they/them pronouns (she/her is fine, too).
• I've been working on open source software for way too long.

Technical stuff

• For work, I write mostly JavaScript and TypeScript, in every part of the web stack.
• Outside of work, I'm using a lot of Rust, Elixir and Erlang.
• I use Emacs as my editor, which automatically makes me a very interesting person.

Projects

Here's a non-exhaustive list of things I've done or contributed to:

• Rust (the language) — I've lead a couple of teams and created a bunch of learning materials.
• Rustlings — An official learning course for Rust. I'm a co-author and lead maintainer.
• Fernehalwes — A website to plan events in Final Fantasy XIV.
• shtola — A funny little static site generator. Used for this website.
• In the past, I lead Jekyll and Node.js.
• I'm also an avid event organizer. Past events include JSConf EU, CSSconf EU, Rust Berlin and Nodeschool Berlin.

How to reach me

• The most reliable way is, as it should be, email. My primary email address is mokou at fastmail dot com.
• I'm also on GitHub, albeit only for work and open-source purposes.
• I hang around a lot on IRC, my nick is usually mokou. The networks I'm on are:
  • tilde.chat, find me in #meta or #institute.
  • Libera.chat (where my nick is kaenbyou), I'm pretty selective about channels there, but usually you can find me in #couchdb.
