<p>Hi, I'm bandali.  I am
a <a href="//www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a>
activist and a computing scientist.  I graduated from the University
of Waterloo with a <a href="/mmath">Master of Mathematics</a> degree
in Computer Science, where I did research in formal logic, model
checking, and verification supervised
by <a href="//cs.uwaterloo.ca/~nday/">Prof. Nancy Day</a>, with the
main goal of improving <strong>software and systems
reliability</strong> through application of
<a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_methods">formal methods</a>.
My research areas of interest include programming languages, proof
assistants, and their type systems.</p>

I am currently employed
by <a href="//savoirfairelinux.com/en">Savoir-faire Linux</a> as a
Free Software Consultant, where I get to hack on various parts
of <a href="//jami.net">Jami</a>, work with the maintainers of Jami
packages in various GNU/Linux distributions like Debian and Trisquel
to help keep up-to-date the version of Jami available in the official
repositories of those distributions, and generally serve as a
community liaison between the Jami core development team and the wider
free software community around Jami.

<p>On the side, I
enjoy <a href="//stallman.org/articles/on-hacking.html">hacking</a>
on <a href="//www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/elisp.html">elisp</a>
and <a href="//www.gnu.org/software/guile/">guile</a>.  I'm a
GNU <a href="//www.gnu.org/people/people.html#bandali">maintainer</a>,
<a href="//www.gnu.org/people/webmeisters.html#bandali">webmaster</a>,
and <a href="//savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/SavannahHacker/">Savannah
hacker</a>; and an <a href="//www.fsf.org/associate/">associate
member</a> of the Free Software Foundation (FSF).  I'm currently the
chief organizer of the <a href="//emacsconf.org">EmacsConf</a>
conference, and the co-host of
the <a href="//emacsel.com">Emacs.el</a> podcast with
<a href="//www.pygopar.com">Daniel Gopar</a>.  I am also a member of
the Systems Committee of the
<a href="//csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a> of the
University of Waterloo.</p>

<p>Starting in spring 2020, I am an intern with the FSF tech team.</p>
