Hello, World!
My name is Basil Contovounesios (Greek: Βασίλης Κοντοβουνήσιος). I’m a computer programmer (codewright?) fascinated with languages (natural, programming, formal), compilers, and Emacs.

Where your email will most often find me (if not on a hill, in a book, or doing anything but what I ought to be doing). I’m at least partially implicated in WebP animation, JSON encoding in Lisp, UPower battery status reporting, and many other misdemeanours in Emacs. My latest work-in-progress is built-in support for AVIF images and PDF documents (too long an itch left unscratched).
Somewhere along the line I seem to have adopted the Dash, Ivy, Swiper, Counsel, and Hackernews packages as their maintainer. I also put together the Olmacs dynamic module – it was a delight learning how to use the entire(!?) GNU Autotools stack for this.
Find more of my activities on Savannah, SourceHut, GitLab, GitHub, StackExchange, or in my CV.
