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

22 by <a href="//savoirfairelinux.com/en">Savoir-faire Linux</a> as a
23 Free Software Consultant, where I get to hack on various parts
24 of <a href="//jami.net">Jami</a>, work with the maintainers of Jami
25 packages in various GNU/Linux distributions like Debian and Trisquel
26 to help keep up-to-date the version of Jami available in the official
27 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.
