I am Utkarsh, a 20 y/o undergrad student!
Besides being a full-time student, I am an open source advocate, a software developer,
and a somewhat-polyglot developer.
I am also a Debian core developer,
maintaining & working on over 900+ packages (written in C, C++, Python, Ruby, JavaScript,
Go, and Perl), including some key packages like the Ruby interpreter, Rails, GitLab,
some Python libraries, Micro, and libgit2. Besides, I also co-maintain the
fasttrack.debian.net service & act as an
FTP Trainee.
I was Google Summer of Code student
twice (once in
2019
and then in 2020),
both times in Debian, where I authored my "baby" project,
RuboCop::Packaging,
which is a linter and an auto-corrector, written in Ruby, helping downstream Ruby
teams of Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, et al.
And finally, I work on Debian LTS part-time, a project by Freexian, extending the lifetime
of all Debian stable releases to (at least) 5 years, where I patch and backport security
fixes for packages in the APT archive for oldstable and oldoldstable releases.
Besides, I am a philatelist, a semi-occassional drummer, an avid reader, and have perhaps
mastered the art of sticker fights!
