Hi!<br />
<br />
I am Tim Henkes, known as "Syndace", a computer scientist masters and hobby mathematician.<br />
My passion is programming, and I am specializing in the topics of low-level hardware development and post-quantum cryptography. I currently work in a research project at Hochschule RheinMain, the university I graduated at.<br />
I run a little server with self-hosted open source alternatives to some proprietary mainstream services.<br />
<br />
==My connection to XMPP==<br />
<br />
Being quite unhappy about the state of mainstream messengers and the ongoing transformation to put everything into the cloud, XMPP caught my interest when a friend introduced me to it.<br />
In 2017 years ago I made the jump from just using XMPP to learning about it/joining and participating in the various MUCs and developing to improve it.<br />
<br />
My long-term "mission" is to improve OMEMO.<br />
As part of this mission, I have spent a lot of my free time in the past years to write an [https://github.com/Syndace/python-omemo OMEMO library] from scratch which currently powers the OMEMO implementations of Goffi's Libervia and Slixmpp/poezio. The current short-term goal is to update the library with seamless support for both major versions of OMEMO. This goal is set for the first quarter of the year.<br />
I have largely contributed to the recent versions of the OMEMO XEP, especially the cryptographic details.<br />
<br />
My experience over the last years in the XMPP community was very positive and I am optimistic that XMPP will continue it's current uptrend with all of the motivated members working on it.<br />
<br />
I want to stay a part of that.<br />
<br />

E-Mail Address: syndace@web.de or me@syndace.dev<br />
<br />
==Why I am reapplying==<br />
This year (again) went by in a blink. The adoption of the new OMEMO standard has barely even started, ideas for key management simplifications are in the making and there is a lot to do overall.<br />
<br />
I really hope we'll get to meet in person again this year, as I've enjoyed and thrived in the few sprints I've been part of.<br />
