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 joined Cachix in 2022 to help expand the product beyond binary caches.
Since then, we've shipped open-source developer tools like devenv and secretspec.
We're a small team, so I work on whatever needs doing, from the infrastructure to the frontend.
Part of my job is keeping Domen unblocked, free to do what he does best, dreaming up what we build next.
Outside of work, you'll find me baking a pie or crossing València on a Brompton loaded with groceries.

I discovered Nix in 2022 and quickly became fascinated by the ideas behind reproducible systems.
Soon afterwards, I started the Vimjoyer YouTube channel to help make Nix more approachable through practical, visual-first, “show, don’t tell” tutorials.
Over the years, my tutorials have become a valuable learning resource for developers entering the ecosystem and have been referenced in articles, documentation, and open source projects.
In 2026, I joined Cachix to help improve the user experience, spread the word about Nix, and build incredible things.
