= About me
I enjoy competeing in capture the flag competitions (cybersecurity and the backyard game), working with robotics, automating tasks and thinking about problems.

I've competed in a few hackathons which are cool, but I prefer spending large time frames incrementally understand solutions to much larger problems, and attempting solutions to those.

I think automation is one of the most powerful abilities we have. As a species we are on the brink of mass automation, which can either liberate our lives into a post-scarcity utopia, or give a small percentage of us more control over the rest than anyone ever has had.

An odd and maybe abstract thing I enjoy is design philosphy. Some examples are creating software to building moral structures through logic to methods of learning new skills.

NixOS has to be my favourite distribution of Linux. My attraction to its design philosphy is that if something works, it will always work anywhere, and can still be worked on long after everything around it has moved on. Its hard to put into words but this feels like debian level stability with arch-like freedom to explore software.

When I'm not nerding out on math, software, ethics, and optimal ways of learning things, I manage to get outdoors. I like mountain biking through trails, snowboarding, hiking through scenic areas, swimming, and basketball. The next thing I'll be getting into is likely SCUBA diving.

I wrote this myself. While AI communicates ideas better than I do, I want to ensure that my and only my thoughts are written. That is true for anything on this site.
