Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTóth János is a Senior Lecturer and experienced embedded systems engineer with 13 years of hands-on development in C/C++ across PIC, ARM (STM32), Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black and Linux kernel modules. He combines academic research (PhD candidate in Engineering Sciences) with practical industry roles, including long-term embedded software engineering and current training work at Festo Didactic. His toolkit spans low-level Assembly, MATLAB/Simulink, ANSYS and Python, and he has production experience with ROS/ROS2 and Arduino ecosystems. An active open-source contributor, he’s fixed cross-platform process handling and implemented multi-instance protection in the widely used conky system monitor, illustrating attention to portability and real-world robustness. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex control and mechatronics problems into reliable firmware and simulation workflows. Based in Hungary, he blends rigorous academia with pragmatic engineering and community-driven contributions.

Contributions summary:Tóth focused on enhancing the `conky` system monitor by addressing several key areas. They fixed a name check issue related to the `-U` flag, which prevents multiple instances of `conky`. The user refactored the process checking method, moving from `/proc` to `ps` for broader compatibility. Moreover, they implemented the `-U` flag on multiple platforms (Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Haiku), restricting multiple instances of conky.
