I'm Hugo Peixoto, a software developer from Porto, Portugal. I've been contributing to free and open source software fore more than 15 years now.

Most of my open source contributions happen when I hit bugs or limitations in existing tools. I like diving deep onto other code bases and fix random things. I have a bias towards ruby, so that's where most of my contributions end up.

I also create small command line tools for personal use (in C, rust, or ruby).

I organize events around free and open source software in my hometown. I am a member of ANSOL and D3, where I help with infrastructure management and event organizing.

Event organizing

I organized an AI competition during Make or Break 2018. The software was released under MIT from the start.

I have been organizing Porto codes, a monthly programming meetup, since 2015. When it's safe to organize meetups again, I will work on hosting, recording, and releasing the next editions of Porto codes.

I organize occasional Hacktoberfest sessions in Porto.

Random FOSS contributions

I wrote several bug fixes (and small features) for random projects:

• rails

Projects

I'm a maintainer of Cyberscore, a video game records community. It used to be a closed source platform, but I worked on turning it into Free Software. I also less frequently work on F-Zero Central: there was a catastrophic failure a couple of years ago and I worked on rewriting this platform and release it as Free Software.

I co-host Conversas em Código a podcast on programming, in Portuguese.

I blog about technical curiosities I find while working on my projects: https://hugopeixoto.net/articles.html

Other small projects / cli tools:

• wedit, a cli tool to edit audio files. Mainly an excuse to learn how audio works.
• untracked, detects files that are currently not under version control
• tico, a path shortening helper program.
• mail-tools, a set of tools to backup (via IMAP) and analyze emails.
• ptcg-detection, a Computer Vision experiment to detect pokémon cards from a video feed
• saucy, a platform for managing members and fee payment reminders

What sponsorship does

Sponsorships will allow me to spend more of my time fixing bugs in known projects. It also allows me to work my own projects and events.
