About me

I am a passionate, talented developer with a three-pronged love of suckless philosophy, information security and code performance. I constantly read about interesting techniques and technologies, with an aim to perfect my skillset. Willing to work independently, but most productive when working in a team. Outside of the programming world, I enjoy writing, exercising in terrible weather, and making music people hate.
