I'm Tom Niget (pronounced /ni.ʒɛ/), I'm 22, living in France and currently:
- working on [compilers](https://typon.nexedi.com/) and cloud infrastructure at [Rapid.Space](https://www.rapid.space/) after getting an engineering degree in Computer Science at the [Sophia Antipolis engineering school (Polytech Nice)](https://polytech.univ-cotedazur.fr/)
- teaching CPU design, Linux, system administration, parallel programming, and some other things at my alma mater [Polytech Nice](https://polytech.univ-cotedazur.fr/) and at [IUT Nice Côte d'Azur](https://iut.univ-cotedazur.fr/)
I've wandered in many areas of the world of computers; from [budgeting software](https://github.com/zdimension/CrediNET) to [disk management utilities](https://github.com/zdimension/SharpBoot) in my younger years, from [real-time image processing](https://github.com/zdimension/tpepeip1) to [logic programming](https://github.com/zdimension/si4-s8-options), from [type theory](https://github.com/zdimension/hm-infer-scheme) to [digital circuits](https://github.com/zdimension/logisim-pong). I've written [programming languages](https://github.com/HassiumTeam/Hassium), [a Python IDE](https://github.com/TuringApp/Turing), a [game](https://github.com/zdimension/wordle-ce) for TI-84 calculators, [low-level drivers](https://github.com/CosmosOS/Cosmos) for a managed kernel, and run [Rust code on logic circuits](https://twitter.com/zdimension_/status/1554953047847337985).
I won first place in a [European CTF competition](https://esisar.grenoble-inp.fr/en/about/csaw-results) with some friends while in high school, my work has been featured in [a CS teachers journal](https://www.epi.asso.fr/revue/lu/l1806n.htm) (in French) and [a Kotaku article](https://www.kotaku.com.au/2018/02/decompiled-tomb-raider-source-code-reveals-loads-of-vulgar-commentary/), and I've [front-paged /r/programming](https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/t0pzxb/tired_of_safe_programming_embed_c_directly_in/) with a [cursed Rust crate](https://github.com/zdimension/embed-c).
From time to time, I [write blog posts](https://zdimension.fr/) about things that I find interesting.
