I'm currently living in Waterloo, Ontario. I went to college here and decided to stick around because I wuv it so much.
I've been messing around with computers for a very long time. I feel very lucky to have the skillset that I do. I feel empowered to push back against the hegemonic and unfun state that the digital world has entered. Being able to self-host most of the services I depend on makes me very happy.
## 💼 My Work
The darkness peeled back {{ age() }} years ago and I tumbled out, scared and confused; I became a software engineer and remained that way.
I do full stack development for my day job. It may come as a shock, but I don't particularly enjoy doing web dev outside of work, and I think this helps me continue to enjoy my personal projects in other areas, such as native desktop application and video game development.
Check out my [projects page](/projects) to see all the stuff I'm working on!
## 🥺 BE MY FRIEND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
If you want to do something cool together, or just shoot the shit about whatever, feel free to send me an email at [soaos@soaos.dev](mailto:soaos@soaos.dev) or (if you're a cool guy) an instant message via Jabber/XMPP at [soaos@chat.soaos.dev](xmpp:soaos@chat.soaos.dev). I'm always excited to meet like-minded and passionate people.
