About
If you need a formal presentation of myself, please check resume.
I’m Arun Mani. You might me find me online with names J Arun Mani or Arun Mani J. Here J is my initial. Please address me by my full name Arun Mani or just Arun.
I’m from Tamil Nadu, India. I can speak Tamil (mother tongue!), English and can understand and speak basic Hindi.
I work on mobile Linux, especially Phosh and have experience with GTK ecosystem. My works are scattered across Debian Salsa, Freedesktop GitLab, GitLab, GNOME GitLab etc.
Free, libre and open source
I support free, libre and open source (FLOSS) technologies that respect privacy. Most of the software I used are based on this opinion. But there are some things, both proprietary and privacy destroying, that I have to use because of various social constraints.

Reading preferences
I like books on fiction. Non-fiction is fine as long as it is not boring. I’m not an avid reader, but I try my best to complete at least one book a month. If you know a good book, feel free to suggest it to me.
Reading blogs and articles is also my way of passing time. I try to read anything that is mildly interesting.
