Hei Hei, I'm Connor Alecks

About me

• 🎓 Y2 BSc Computer Science @ The Netherlands

What I'm tinkering with

nix-dots        → my NixOS setup built on flake-parts, for me and family/friends
learning-rust   → working through Rust fundamentals, project by project

Languages

I know these languages, not in any particular order:

• Nix

• Rust

Some things I've worked on

• Built a full-stack inventory tracking app (Java/JavaFX) as part of coursework, handled both UI logic and backend.
• Contributed to a robotics coursework project involving drone simulation and keeping a virtual "digital twin" in sync with real robot position data.

My Dots

My dots are quite modular but not overly complex, I like things quite minimal you can see more screenshots and the files here.

Special Mentions

Special mentions to these people and/or projects they are amazing and I wish them and their communities the world:

• Vimjoyer - For introducing me to Nix and bringing great projects to my eyes.
• raf - Makes great things I'm unsure if they're human with all that ability.
• Nixos-Apple-Silicon - For saving me from Fedora (never even tried it).
• Asahi Linux - Almost never need to touch MacOS now.
• Hyprland - Love everyone in the nix-nixos channel <3
