benedictusrey/README.md

Benedictus RH (@benedictusrey), researcher and builder. Scientific imaging, software engineering, and AI tools, illustrated through wood structure, imaging layers, and desktop software.

Benedictus RH

I build desktop apps that keep Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, TikTok and X in their own windows. I'm also a PhD student in Nagoya, Japan, studying how wood breaks down with hyperspectral imaging, X-ray CT and Python.

Start with IG Now, the most-starred app.

Activity

Refreshed daily from GitHub.

A year of contributions

A 3D calendar of Benedictus RH's GitHub contributions over the past year, generated by GitHub Profile 3D Contrib.

Language stats exclude this profile and the opencodex fork. Public code may not include my research.

How this page updates

A GitHub Actions workflow runs once a day. It regenerates the stats cards and the calendar, then commits the result. Built with Summary Cards, 3D Contrib and Shields.io. The hero banner lives in this repository too, and the workflow does not regenerate it.

The workflow and Dependabot settings are in this repository. Dependabot checks action updates weekly and opens pull requests for review.
