I build and maintain low-level Nix and Linux tooling such as:

  • https://nixmultiverse.com/: any version of any nixpkgs package from one flake input, ~32k package pages served.
  • sqlelf: query ELF objects with the power of SQL
  • shrinkwrap: Improve the startup time of dynamically linked binaries.
  • http://visible.build/: A local-only Build Event Protocol Viewer

I also like to write at fzakaria.com about linkers, dynamic loading, and Nix internals.

Sponsorship is a way to let me know you derived value from my work. No tier buys support or priority; if you need that, email me.

2 sponsors have funded fzakaria’s work.

Reaching this goal will give me validation to continue devoting time to open source work.
