About me

I am a web developer with a background in human languages and education. I have mostly learned frontend develeopment on Codecademy, but hope to continue on to become a full stack developer.

A long time Linux user, I have a decent working knowlege of Bash. I also dabble in C, and Emacs Lisp. I can use both the vim and emacs text editors, and prefer emacs with org and evil modes.

My hobbies include tabletop gaming, language learning, history of religion, and retro computing. During COVID, I completed Part I of From Nand to Tetris.
