About
I am also an enthusiast of the ideas of open science and free software, and I have been trying to apply them in developing tools that assist the scientific research process. Development takes place mainly on Codeberg.
All computer-related workflows are (in general) done on my laptop, using Gentoo Linux as the operating system, with XMonad and Plasma as desktop environments.

Art
Traditional/analog art is usually made with whatever materials are at hand. However, a few items I always try to carry with me are:
- Staedtler Mars Technico 780 2.0 mm 780 C-CA lead holder with HB lead (for sketching)
- Pentel GraphGear 500 mechanical pencils (0.3mm, 0.5mm, and 0.7mm) with B/2B lead (for pencil finishing)
- Uni-pin technical pens (0.1, 0.5, 0.7, and Brush)
- A6 Spiral Sketchbook with Canson 100g/m² paper
If the drawing isn't finished on paper, it serves as the base for the digital version. On my computer, I use Krita as my main tool for this, ~~drawing with a Wacom Intuos S drawing tablet~~. Any subsequent image post-processing is done using Inkscape or GIMP. ~~Recently~~, I acquired an 11-inch iPad Pro, and I have been doing ~~some of my~~ digital work on it as well, using Procreate.
Science
Since my research is theoretical in nature, not much is needed beyond pen and paper. However, a few tools are very helpful for the heavy lifting:
