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

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
