Hi there! I am a computer science enthusiast, currently working in the SF Bay Area. I previously studied CS at Carnegie Mellon University, with a systems concentration.

My areas of interest include databases, open-source software, vintage hardware, and niche operating systems, but I am always trying to learn more about everything!
