If you're here from my resume: Please scroll down to see some
projects and writing work, and see my GitHub
profile for a nearly complete archive of my work.
Welcome! This website is where I host a little blog, put some of my opinions
in writing, and have some fun now and then.
For a while I had a "blog" on a GitHub Pages website that was originally
intended as a project portfolio for potential employers. As far as I know
not a single soul ever read it, so I moved everything to neocities and now
make fairly regular content updates here. The blog is definitely the main meat
of this website.
Generally speaking, I enjoy technology, electronics, 3D printing, Xenoblade, math,
anime, science fiction, guitar, rock, synthwave, in more or less that order.
I'm not really one for graphic design so you won't find anything too flashy here. The
name also doesn't mean anything.
