+## Me
+I was born in the early '90s and spent a lot of time growing up playing with computers and electricity. It eventually became my passion and lead to me getting a degree in electrical engineering with a minor in computer engineering. I then got into makerspaces and the maker movement: like-minded people getting together to build things for fun. Most of what I build is software because I can work on it from anywhere. When I build physical things they usually involve electricity as a means to allow software to interact with the world. I work in the home automation field and have spent a lot of time automating my own home.
+
+### Uses
+I do my computing on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon laptop running Debian GNU/Linux with GNOME. Most of my work is done over ssh because it allows me to pause or move to my desktop quickly and there's less risk of losing data. I edit text with Vim in Byobu (tmux) terminal sessions. I browse the web with Librewolf, a privacy fork of Firefox. I mainly communicate via Telegram Messenger or email.
+
+I don't like tweaking or configuring settings so I try to leave things default unless something really annoys me or it improves my workflow greatly. It's easy to sink an infinite amount of time into optimizing your workflow and then die having made nothing.
