About

I am Noémi, also known as kvch. I have a decade of experience as a software engineer. Throughout my career, I have primarily focused on open source software development. Right now I am developing pgroll, a CLI for safe and reversible schema migrations for PostgreSQL. In the past I worked on Beats where maintained Libbeat, contributed to Filebeat, Functionbeat and created Journalbeat. I also contributed to syslog-ng. In addition to my professional work, I served as a maintainer for searx, a privacy-respecting metasearch engine, for 6 years.
