Hello! I'm Niklas Haas - also known as @haasn on GitHub.

I spend most of my free time working on free software, mostly in the video/graphics ecosystems. In particular, I wrote the video renderer for the popular media playing program mpv, and am also the full-time developer of libplacebo, a project which takes what I learned from mpv and makes it reusable in a way that integrates cleanly into mpv, VLC, and other video players. Apart from this, I do odd commits and debugging here and there, mostly clustered around the the graphics ecosystem (mesa, vulkan, amdgpu, FFmpeg, ...), but also the usual flood of bug reports for various problems I run into in the FOSS world.

As a hobbyist, I've been working on FOSS for several years now. However, in order to continue doing this for the rest of my life, I need to make a living doing so. If you would like to help me continue living out my passion for free software, or appreciate my work on mpv/VLC/etc. and would like to support me for it, I would be very thankful to receive any contributions either way.
