Ehsan Tork: A Full-Stack Developer and Web Designer with Passion for Learning and Sharing

I'm a programmer and software developer focused on Open Source and Free Software. My favorite OS is GNU/Linux and my main distribution is Arch Linux. I love pacman and its flexibility.

My favorite language is C/C++ and I love Qt. Java is fine and I enjoy programming with Java, but C++ is more powerful than Java for me. In recent years, I've been focusing on Rust for backend development and Iced/Slint for native desktop applications.

I love Python too, but it's a little confusing when I try to write code in C++ and Python at the same time. Because of semicolons! 😄

I've been using Linux since 2008. My first distribution was Red Hat 6.

Key Facts:

  • Co-founder of Shosa Daru, an online drugstore based in Tehran, Iran
  • Graduate of Bouali University in Computer Engineering
  • Linux user since 2008 (Started with Red Hat 6)
  • Open Source & Free Software advocate

My Philosophy

Open Source

Open your Source, Open Your Mind :-)

I believe in the power of open source software and its ability to democratize technology and knowledge.

Free Software

Free Software is more than a Production Method!

Free software represents freedom, collaboration, and the right to understand and modify the tools we use.

Stop Using Kali Linux for Show!

Kali Linux can't make you a hacker... Never... Real skills come from understanding systems, not from using fancy distros.
