About

Hey there! I’m Anton Van Assche, a Linux System Administrator with a degree in Applied Computer Science from Ghent University of Applied Sciences and Arts, specializing in System and Network Administration. I work for Smals, seconded to the Federal Pension Service of Belgium (Federale Pensioendienst België), where I manage and optimize IT infrastructures with a focus on open-source tech and automation.

In my free time, I enjoy working on personal projects, ranging from fine-tuning my Neovim, Hyprland, and Tmux configurations to writing small Neovim plugins and creating tools like a password manager or a full-fledged package manager in Bash. Some of these projects make their way to GitHub, while others remain personal experiments, but most are open-source since that’s something I value deeply.

“People who are doing things for fun do things the right way by themselves.” — Linus Torvalds

Outside of tech, I’m a long-time épée fencer, training regularly and helping teach younger fencers at my club, Schermkring Sint-Niklaas. Fencing keeps me both mentally and physically sharp, and I find joy in contributing to the community.

When I’m not working or fencing, I’m usually lost in music—anything from Tate McRae to Our Last Night keeps me going.

Feel free to check out my projects or connect if we share similar interests!
