Welcome to my website!
Here I will likely talk about myself, anything relating to open-source software, GNU/Linux ecosystems and anything relating to software (including software I create myself!)
I'm a software developer and information activist, I seek to promote accessible, reliable information about free and open source software in my blog posts and write-ups. I am 17 years old, and I am very passionate about computers and technology.
I first started learning website development in 2017 from school and fell in love with programming, from there I began to teach myself as much as I could. I was introduced to GNU/Linux and open source software in August 2020 and swapped from Windows 10 to Linux full-time in October 2020. I fell in love with open source software and the philosophy behind it.
