About Me

Hi! I am Dmitry Tantsur aka Creepy Owlet. I do software development for living, currently involved in the ironic project. I am also a Rust language enthusiast, and has recently taken on embedded development. I believe in free and open-source software and has been using and developing it for years.

I speak Russian, English and some German. My biggest passions are mountain hiking and bouldering.

Finally, I live in Düsseldorf and open to meeting new people!

Projects

  • Ironic is a bare metal provisioning and life cycle project. As of 2020 I have been contributing to it for 6 years! Check my posts with "ironic" tag.

  • Metal3 provides native API to manage bare metal machines in Kubernetes. My biggest project right now is a new operator to install Ironic.

  • rust-openstack and rust-osauth are two projects I've started, their goal is to provide OpenStack API SDK in Rust.

  • A book is coming together under the wise leadership of Kira! Any details later.

  • I've got a HiFive1 rev B and a Raspberry Pi 5 recently. No idea what I will do with them, but definitely something great.
