Jonas Julian Jensen
I'm a computer engineer from Norway. I specialize in FPGA development using VHDL. That's a type of reconfigurable microchip and its coding language.
I hold a master's degree in informatics and have experience working as a developer for Norway's leading defense company.
In June 2018, I left my job to live as a location-independent developer.

Converted to Linux (Nov 1998)
In November 1998, I formatted the hard drive of my Pentium 133 MHz system and installed Red Hat 5.1 Manhattan Linux. Since that day, Linux has been my preferred operating system.
