Hi there! I'm Niels and I'm a contributor to Jellyfin and maintainer of various parts in the project.

My primary work lies in the codebase for the Jellyfin Android TV app, making sure the code will be sustainable in the future and uses best-practices. I'm also active on the mobile Android app, primarily making sure everything keeps running and publishing the new versions. Both apps use the Jellyfin Kotlin SDK that I've written from scratch. This library is the foundation of all communication between the Jellyfin apps and the Jellyfin server. Occasionally you'll find me in other Jellyfin projects like the server, web interface or documentation.

Working on free and open-source is a passion of mine and I appreciate everyone that helps me pay for the tools and hardware I need to continue with it. The sponsorships allow me to pay for various tools and services like (cloud-)servers, software licenses, Android devices and more to continue with my open-source hobby.
