Hi, I'm Riley Martin

About Me

I am a developer living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

I am a Linux fan, currently I use Arch Linux with KDE Plasma desktop environment.

My current go-to editor/IDE is VSCodium, a 'liberated' build of Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. For editing in the terminal, my preference is Helix, a modal editor based on the selection->action model. Otherwise I will use vim.

I know HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python, C and Rust and little bits here and there of other languages. My favorite language is Rust; it is efficient (unlike Python), safe (unlike C) and very developer friendly.

Skills

I do fullstack web development, using either Nodejs or Python with Flask for the backend. I use React as a frontend framework.

I am also interested in embedded development. I mostly use C for this, but occasionally I use C++ as well. One technology in this field that particularly interests me is Rust; it is much less error-prone than traditional languages like C/C++ but still has low-level capabilities along with higher level abstractions than C, without the bloat of C++
