About

I've been programming on and off since I was 14, when I ran a multiplayer Moparscape server written in Java. It's almost a couple of decades later now, and I have a fair number of languages under my belt. For personal projects, I work mainly with Clojure, Python, and Rust.

I'm Security+ certified.

My avatars are generated using a Mandelbrot Set Explorer I wrote in Clojure. See my GitHub!
