welcome to my internet place 🛋️. let me take your jacket 🧥 and please take off your shoes 👟. i'm glad you're here. can i get you a drink ☕️?

quick intro

• for work, i practice software development, mitigating errors on quantum computers, and technical writing.
• i like open source. it's good.
• i love spending time outdoors. running, climbing, hiking, cycling, swimming, i don't care. just get me OUT!

you can learn more about what i am and where i do if you step into the /about room.
