# About Janis Hutz

Hello! I'm Janis Hutz, and I develop software

Having been working on developing software and learning to do so properly since the beginning of 2021, I have accumulated a lot of work hours in this subject. In September 2024, I have started my studies in Software Engineering at ETH Zurich, a renowned university in Switzerland, where I am currently working towards my Bachelor of Science degree after having passed the base exams in Summer 2025.

My projects are becoming increasingly more complex, useful and feature-rich. Now finally, with proper education, I will be taking my software to the next level.

Most of the software provided on this website is done so for free. Any financial support would be greatly appreciated.

I am a hard-core Linux user, which means I am always tweaking my user interface and OS when I am not coding. You can read up on my Linux journey here. While I do occasionally like to play games on my own, I primarily do so with friends, as I prefer not to waste my time playing games, if there is nobody available to play them with.

Additionally, I am an advocate for Free, Libre and Open Source Software (abbreviated to FLOSS or FOSS commonly), as well as privacy on the internet. As such, I will never sell or use your personal data for any other purpose than what is the bare minimum to provide the service and I will never automatically collect any personally identifiable data except explicitly stated otherwise.

Other than that, I am also very interested in PC hardware, and I am always up-to-date with the latest hardware, ranging from CPUs and GPUs to power supplies, cases and coolers. I also enjoy composing music, but mostly keep that to myself, as with playing piano, which I enjoy doing occasionally. Still, most of my time is spent in front of my computer working on something software-related.
