Location:
Marilao, Bulacan, Philippines
Professional title:
Currently full-time student
What do you do?
Autistic Filipino, open-source developer and BDFL at Recap Time Squad, Alpine Linux package maintainer for GitHub CLI.
Why?
Choosing to be an open-source dev/maintainer while autistic in a developing country might make my parents question my life/career/academic choices, but I also wondered what could my life be like if being chronically online made me a software developer and Linux user. I am currently exploring bringing the open-source culture to more Filipinos while learning more about the neurodiversity movement from the lens of intersectionality.
What should we read?
Laziness Does Not Exist and Unmasking Autism by Devon Price (still looking for more books btw)
