FitNesse -- The Acceptance Test Wiki

Hey You 🕴️

I’m Arjan, a software engineer/architect happily working at Xebia.

I’m an Open Source adept. I've been using and writing open source software ever since I started programming, more than 25 years ago. I favor working on a Linux-based machine, running GNOME Desktop.

For the last few years I've been writing mostly Python. I also like to write Elixir, a bit of Typescript, and the occasional shell script.

My (Open Source) Work

Lately I’ve been actively working on:

• Pytest-archon: a little tool my colleage Joachim and me built to enforce rules on your Python application architecture.
• Gaphor: a modeling tool for SysML/UML modeling. It’s a lot of fun building a desktop app in my spare time, while building webapps for work.
• PyGObject: a Python library that provides language bindings for the GNOME ecosystem (e.g. GTK).
• GTK: a multi-platform UI toolkit. I've been improving macOS support.

I maintained FitNesse for a couple of years.
