I learn a lot from working at Systems

---

About Me

• I am Computer Science major.
• I longboard often.
• You may see me around campus with an abnormally long board that looks like a giant skateboard.
• I edit videos as a hobby and try to make fun stuff for my friends and I.
• I am a Roblox developer in my free time.
• I have contributed to a few games and only released 2-ish myself.
• If you have never played Roblox or have never played the game "DOORS" go check it out.

Interests

• I am a big fan of anything declarative, I'm spending time learning Nix(OS) and I love seeing everything turn green on Ansible.
• I am a Vim (NeoVim) user, first out of necessity, then out of fun.
• I sometimes forget the Vim motions.
• Reading Manga and watching Anime (read The Promised Neverland)

Fun Facts

• I am not the first in my family to work at Systems
• I am a fan of the Drakengard/NieR series
