[kitty/fox/wasp-eqsue thing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otherkin), an intermediate computer toucher, amateur systems designer, and a visibly weird neurodivergent mess. i study IT & programming by day.
i love spicy food, music (breakcore, nightcore, webcore, really anything fast-paced), linux, overcommitting to irrelevant matters, and undercommitting to relevant matters. i'm also interested in politics and activism.
