About Me

Depending on who you ask, I'm either a big science nerd, or computer person. Either way, scatter-brained and passionate about my little projects, plants, guitar, signal processing, and (mostly continental) philosophy. There was some tweet on the cursed website that went along the lines of:

Being trans is wild because you'll go your whole life feeling like some weird, unique alien and then you transition and realize there are a million other bitches EXACTLY like you

--Some rando, Twitter

So despite me legitimately grappling with the worry that I'd be so alone as a trans girl interested in computers and video games (seriously), I found I was actually social enough that I'm regularly accused of being an extrovert by my friends now, haha.

Interests

Here's some shit I'm into, and feel free to DM me if you're into the same (I don't bite!):

• Games
  • Minecraft
  • Soulslikes
  • Metroidvanias
  • Roguelikes
  • Homebrew on weird old platforms
• Reverse-engineering, Decomps, Jailbreaking
• Language (human or otherwise)
• Botany/Mycology/Microbiology
• Retrocomputing (especially atari/6502 stuff, lisp machines, and IBM Mainframe stuff)
• Music
  • Grunge
  • Demoscene
  • Hyperpop
  • Punk Rock
  • Weird British IDM shit from the 90s
• Lisp, Functional Programming, Old SICP Lectures from MIT in the 80s
• History (in a sociological sense more than a 'and then this war happened' kinda way)

Idk, I'll probably add a page on here for links to my favorite stuff, as well as game server links if anyone wants to hmu

What I'm Up To Now

Note: This section is dynamic, I'll be updating it whenever I look at it and go "Yikes this is old, I gotta update it"

I'm moving to Germany! 🍻 Partly due to the craziness going on here in the states, partly because I missed science & biology dearly, and partly because tech jobs appear to actually be a thing in the EU (unlike the absolute desert of ghost jobs here in the bay the past year and a half), this October my fiance and I are moving to Hesse so I can start my masters in agricultural computational biology at JLU Gießen.

Scary to make such a huge move, but I'm also very excited :) Both of us have a bit of a background in German, but we weren't sure it was realistic to really make it over there until we spent some time in the Sprachraum via the European Lisp Symposium in Zurich (thank you, Yukari, for organizing that btw!) So uhhhh, that's all happening very soon 🫠 If anyone reading this has any pointers on housing or tech work over there, please drop me a line!

Cheers~
