NixOS
Consulting.

NixOS and the Nix ecosystem offer a fundamentally better way to manage software and infrastructure — but the learning curve is steep. I help teams adopt Nix gradually and confidently, from development environments to production infrastructure.

As a nixpkgs maintainer, home-manager contributor, and co-founder of TestLens — a platform running entirely on NixOS — I bring both community depth and production experience to every engagement. I've helped teams set up reproducible dev environments, package software for nixpkgs, and manage infrastructure declaratively with NixOS.

Areas of expertise

Nix packaging

Build, maintain, and optimize Nix packages for your projects, ensuring consistent and reproducible software builds across all environments.
