Roos

I'm a technologist passionate about FOSS, functional programming, decentralized systems, and embedded technologies.

I'm actively developing practical applications on top of Bitcoin and decentralized finance, with a focus on solving real-world problems. I'm also open to exploring and supporting technologies that align with this goal.

I'm always curious about how systems are built—from overall design down to the implementation details. My experience includes Haskell, Nix, Rust, Android development, blockchain integration, microservices orchestration, and infrastructure operations. I'm also interested embedded and low-power technologies like ESP32s, FPGAs, and LoRa.

In my free time, I contribute to open source projects like Nixpkgs, support efforts to grow blockchain adoption, and study the RF environment around me.

be-BOP: Ethical Commerce, Without the Middlemen
Roos

be-BOP is free and open-source software for autonomous commerce. It’s an all-in-one, batteries-included solution built for merchants, not engineers. It lets communities run markets without accounts, tracking, or gatekeepers. From shops to restaurants, ticketing to peer-funding — all self-hosted. Adoption grows among merchants and creators seeking real independence.

Next steps: multitenant for specialization, cross be-BOP for federation. We’re building the foundations of a free, federated economy.
