| 8 | <p>Hi, I'm bandali. I am |
| 9 | a <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free |
| 10 | software</a> activist and a computing scientist. I graduated from the |
| 11 | University of Waterloo with a <a href="/mmath">Master of |
| 12 | Mathematics</a> degree in Computer Science, where I did research in |
| 13 | formal logic, model checking, and verification supervised |
| 14 | by <a href="https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~nday/">Prof. Nancy Day</a>, with |
| 15 | the main goal of improving <strong>software and systems |
| 16 | reliability</strong> through application of |
| 17 | <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_methods">formal |
| 18 | methods</a>. My research areas of interest include programming |
| 19 | languages, proof assistants, and their type systems.</p> |

| 21 | <p>I am currently employed |
| 22 | by <a href="https://savoirfairelinux.com/en">Savoir-faire Linux</a> as |
| 23 | a Free Software Consultant, where I get to hack on various parts |
| 24 | of <a href="https://jami.net">Jami</a>, work with the maintainers of |
| 25 | Jami packages in various GNU/Linux distributions like Debian and |
| 26 | Trisquel to help keep up-to-date the version of Jami available in the |
| 27 | official repositories of those distributions, and generally serve as a |
| 28 | community liaison between the Jami core development team and the wider |
| 29 | free software community around Jami. To be sure, the views or |
