Turiiya is a Sanskrit name I got when spending a good part of my life in an ashram. My social - let's say Muggle-name - is Tobi.
Next to being a nerd, I'm also a licensed fitness trainer and nutritionist and have volunteered for various organizations for several years. I also like spending time with friends - be it humans or other animals.

When I'm not working WITH the tools, I'm usually working ON the tools. Be it the libraries and frameworks, the editors and extensions or the programming language itself.
I contribute to open source projects wherever possible, which has put this profile in the top 3% of over 100 million GH profiles. Many recent contributions relate to vlang/v and its ecosystem.
