I’m known as redstrate and I’m a software engineer, KDE developer and artist. I like taking apart things, drawing and more. This website here is both my portfolio and a place to archive the things I’ve made.
- Check out my blog posts for Linux, KDE, and reverse engineering.
- If you’re into art, I have a gallery of my artwork!
- Here’s an exhaustive list of the software I’ve made and maintain.
- I have given a few conference talks.
- With so much stuff in the world I like, I have taken the outstanding ones and enshrined them.
Please sign the guestbook if you enjoyed my site! And if you want some cool people to check out, here is my neighborhood.

- You should know more about microwork
Micro-working has been a recent hyper-focus of mine. I found that it’s not well-known, despite there being multi-billion companies and a whole cottage industry built around it.
