About
Hi 👋, I’m Alex (who sometimes goes by the memorable name of0x416c6578). I am a software developer in the aerospace and navigation domain, and I have interests in embedded programming / hardware, free software, Linux and occasionally Android development. This site aims to showcase projects or random things I do outside of my profession, aiming to be a useful reference for people undertaking similar work. Questions or comments? Post an issue on the repo.
More info about my education and experience can be found here.
