Till Wegmüller—@toasterson
Systems Engineer • OpenIndiana Developer • Infrastructure Architect
[SYSTEM LOGIN] Grüessech, and welcome to my profile...
I'm Till, though most people call me Toasty. I work as an independent systems engineer based in Europe, specializing in OpenIndiana distribution development, Rust programming, and Unix infrastructure.
[CORE COMPETENCIES]
My expertise centers around OpenIndiana distribution development, where I contribute to package maintenance, system integration, and helping users adopt modern Unix environments. I develop primarily in Rust for system-level applications and manage virtualized infrastructure at scale.

[METRICS & ACTIVITY]
[CLOSING NOTES]
I focus on building reliable infrastructure using proven Unix principles enhanced with modern tools. Whether developing efficient Rust applications, maintaining OpenIndiana packages, or orchestrating container workloads, the goal is always creating systems that work reliably and can be maintained by the next engineer.
My approach combines traditional Unix wisdom with contemporary development practices to create infrastructure that's both robust and accessible.
