Hello, I'm
Solution Developer

From embedded systems through Linux and security tooling to DevOps, web apps, and developer experience. I build what's needed.
Open-source work and side projects
A Rust-based tool for remapping input device events at the kernel level using evdev and uinput. Supports multi-device mapping, terminal-based configuration, and integration with systemd on Linux systems.
ScreenChaser is a Rust-based bias lighting daemon for Linux that uses the Wayland XDG Desktop Portal to capture screen content, processes colors with GPU-accelerated wgpu compute shaders, and streams the output to WLED devices via UDP. It includes a webview frontend for LED configuration, device scanning, and live previews, all within a lightweight native binary.
A Linux-specific fork of GitHub Desktop, synchronized with the official upstream repository and adapted for compatibility with a custom Linux distribution.
Manages environment variables securely by storing them in GNOME Keyring instead of plaintext .env files. Provides a TUI for editing and a CLI for injecting secrets into applications.
Background and stats
Maximilian Reinke develops tools and applications with a focus on Linux environments, system-level utilities, and hardware interaction. His projects include 'sei', a tool for securely managing environment variables using GNOME Keyring, and 'desktop-drac', a Linux-specific adaptation of GitHub Desktop tailored for a custom distribution. He has also worked on 'ScreenChaser', a bias lighting daemon that integrates with WLED devices using GPU-accelerated compute shaders, and 'input-remapper-rs', a utility for remapping input device events at the kernel level on Linux systems.
Maximilian employs a technical approach centered on performance, security, and system integration. His primary tools include Rust for system programming, TypeScript and JavaScript for frontend development, and SCSS for styling. He utilizes Docker for containerization and Shell scripting for automation. His work often involves leveraging advanced technologies such as wgpu for GPU acceleration and evdev/uinput for low-level hardware interaction.
Maximilian Reinke entwickelt Tools und Anwendungen mit einem Schwerpunkt auf Linux-Umgebungen, System-Utilities und Hardware-Interaktion. Zu seinen Projekten gehören 'sei', ein Tool zur sicheren Verwaltung von Umgebungsvariablen mit GNOME Keyring, und 'desktop-drac', eine Linux-spezifische Anpassung von GitHub Desktop für eine benutzerdefinierte Distribution. Darüber hinaus hat er an 'ScreenChaser' gearbeitet, einem Bias-Lighting-Daemon, der WLED-Geräte mit GPU-beschleunigten Compute-Shaders integriert, sowie an 'input-remapper-rs', einem Tool zur Neuzuordnung von Eingabegeräte-Ereignissen auf Kernel-Ebene unter Linux.
Maximilian verfolgt einen technischen Ansatz, der auf Leistung, Sicherheit und Systemintegration ausgerichtet ist. Seine primären Werkzeuge umfassen Rust für Systemprogrammierung, TypeScript und JavaScript für Frontend-Entwicklung sowie SCSS für Styling. Er nutzt Docker für die Containerisierung und Shell-Skripte für Automatisierung. Seine Arbeit umfasst häufig den Einsatz fortschrittlicher Technologien wie wgpu für GPU-Beschleunigung und evdev/uinput für Hardware-Interaktion auf niedriger Ebene.
