NixCon 2024

I am currently doing my master's in computer science and working in the manufacturing area as a software developer, but I am mainly doing DevOps.

Hi, I'm a PhD student working on High-Performance Computing (HPC), focusing on Networking and Congestion Control. I also love Nix so much. 😀

Alex is contracting for ASML, spearheading migration to Bazel build system. He enjoys solving complex challenges in a manner that results in simple solutions. Rust, Nix and Bazel enthusiast, he attempts to bring reproducibility and correctness to any software project he works on.

Arnout 'raboof' Engelen is an independent Open Source software engineer and has been a nixpkgs committer since 2021, notably spearheading the Reproducible Builds effort within NixOS. Available for freelance Open Source software development engagements aside acting as Security Response Program Manager for the Apache Software Foundation.

Artur, with a background in computer science and engineering, focuses on correctness, reliability, and reusability in software systems. Leading large-scale migrations, he excels in creating advanced build systems and ensuring hermetic, reproducible builds. A proponent of software reusability, Artur has engineered innovative solutions using variability modeling and mass customization to enhance software performance and reliability.

I've been writing software for many years and have worked with Nix/NixOS as part of Numtide for the last few.

I publish a blog post every now and then: https://bmcgee.ie/posts

Bryan's been interested in computing for as long as he can remember. Even studying electronic engineering, just to understand how a computer could add 2 numbers together on a transistor level.

Recently, he's been interested in the smaller details of operating systems. How they work, why they look they way they do, and why LISP machines never took off.

Please don't hesitate to approach him about anything tech, or music, related. But, be warned, he has a tendency to just keep on talking once he gets going.

Bryan's currently working at Flox, where he uses Nix daily, and is trying to bring Nix to a wider audience in a nicer package.

Claudio is a software engineer with a passion for functional programming and with a strong interest in build systems. He is a member of the Scalable Builds Group at Modus Create and contributes to Bazel and Buck2, maintains Bazel rules for Tweag (Modus Create's OSPO), and provides professional services to various clients. He lives in Leipzig with his wife and kids.

My journey with Nix started in 2012 and I've been continuously contributing in my free time ever since.

I was lucky enough to go full-time Nix in 2016, packaging up OpenStack in Nix and writing end-to-end tests with a few different scenarios.

In 2016, I founded Enlambda consulting. It helped many clients like Snabb and IOHK adopt Nix and enabled them to solve complex software distribution problems in our industry.

In 2018, I launched Cachix to accelerate Nix adoption by focusing on infrastructure and education.

I've been using NixOS since 2019 and I've worked at the Flying Circus IO GmbH since I started my CompSci Bachelors. During that time in my free time I've started the Thymis.io Open Source project to manage devices using NixOS with a few others with the aim of bringing NixOS to a wider audience.

Jacek Galowicz is the CEO of Nixcademy and Applicative Systems GmbH, where he has trained over 200 engineers in Nix and NixOS and helped numerous companies accelerate their adoption of these technologies. Before founding these companies, Jacek co-founded Cyberus Technology GmbH, where he worked on hypervisor technology and advanced test automation. He has an extensive background in the security and operating systems industries, and as a software engineer, Jacek ported the NixOS integration test driver to Python in 2019. He is also the author of the C++17 STL Cookbook.

João Thallis is a Product Engineer at Turn.io.

He started his programming journey creating games in his teenage years. He’s working with functional programming using Elixir since 2018.

He lives in Brazil, loves cycling, traveling, open source, Bitcoin, nix and neovim

I create tools around Nix/NixOS: nixos-anywhere, disko, sops-nix, ...

Founded Data Science Retreat, longest running and most advanced ML training in Europe. Working on similar courses for security engineering (Why Nix is interesting for me!) and practical reasoning in the AI era. Trying to improve the human side on the human-AI pairing.

Julian was born in Brazil, but has lived in India, the US, Germany and now Switzerland. He is the CEO of garnix; prior to that, he variously cowrote the Haskell servant web framework, worked at a newspaper, started but never finished a philosophy PhD, and was Brazilian chess champion under 16.

NixOS addict since 2015, interested in mail servers, containers and devops stuffs.

Martin Schwaighofer is a PhD student at JKU in Austria, interested in proving the link between a running system and it's source code.

Hi, I'm Nitin! I'm currently working as a machine learning engineer on the research platform at Two Sigma. Before that, I was at Cruise Automation working on AI planning for the self-driving car.

I love using NixOS to tinker and self-host software. I also host the New York Nix Users Group!

Hi there 👋 My name is Óli, I run Genki, a company making products for musicians. We also do consulting on firmware development (including Nix).

Software developer who finds joy in throwing algorithms at problems and observing what happens; Senior Rust Developer at Fudo Security, fan of Nix, chinchillas and dogs (the more the better, exponentially!).

Long-term Linux user and admin; Ignored Nix(OS) for too long before it stuck in 2020. nixos-anywhere & disko contributor.

I'm a self-hosting, privacy and data sovereignty advocate.

For 12 years now, I have been self hosting everything I can because I firmly believe it's the only way to keep my data under control. I went through the full spectrum of imperative scripts to fully declarative configuration with NixOS. My mission now is to lower the bar of entry for self-hosting and allow less technical users to get the same benefits I enjoy.

I'm a father of 6 kids and married to a wonderful wife. <3

Pim Kunis is a Linux Engineer from the Netherlands. He is currently employed as a contractor for Sue, doing Linuxy things.

I work on helping teams across Juspay adopt Nix, building cool tools for both internal use and the open-source community. As a Nix aficionado, I love installing NixOS wherever I can.

Sönke Hahn specializes in Functional Programming and -- on and off -- has worked with nix since 2013. He has a strong interest in Agile Software Engineering, from Test-Driven Development to team organization. He is currently the CTO of garnix.io.

I am passionate about advocating for Nix and Nix-based technology. I think Nix is a superpower that should be available to all developers and something that can help the humanity manage the increasing complexity of software. Let's bring it to work, home lab, school, basement, cloud, enterprise, space station, hardware, ...... to the world!

Graduated with a "Diplom" in CS from the FAU Erlangen in Germany. Worked in video coding research at an institute that should not be named for a few years before going into the industry.
Discovered Nix while exploring Haskell at that time and immediately fell in love. Opened my first PRs to nixpkgs in 2018 and became a regular but low-frequency contributor.
Currently working as a Programmer/Architect at a data-focussed Cybersecurity startup in Hamburg, where I introduced Nix to manage development environments and as a tool to build static binaries for distribution.

Yorick is the co-founder of Datakami, a generative AI consulting company.

He installed NixOS in 2014 and can never go back.
