More About This Website

This website is a blend of my professional and personal projects, designed to showcase my skills in various fields. It's an ongoing project that began as a way to practice using AWS and Python for astrophysics-related, data-intensive programming tasks. Over time, I incorporated front-end web development skills, using templates and improving my design through trial and error. You'll find a mix of personal projects, experiments, and technical challenges I’ve worked on.

If you're interested in seeing more, feel free to browse around! I regularly update this site, so check back for new content. You can also contact me through the links provided in the footer for any inquiries or job opportunities.

Okay but seriously, this section, the border, background, title, font and color, the previous two paragraphs, and all the code was written by ChatGPT. It tried to make it a shiny, light-blue color which was gross and terrible but other than that pretty solid.

Anyway recently I've been exploring the many faces of ChatGPT (it's a way, way, way better coder than me (it did not write that I promise)) as well as running a Minecraft server for my friends. I've never been sole admin for one before so I'm just practicing scripting and backup procedures and TCP/IP stuff.

So, thanks for visiting my website! This space is a semi-professional, statically located public display written by and about myself. It is an ongoing project and not particularly serious. Check back some random time in the future, and also hit me up on social media or whatever.

Lastly, if you read this entire section then I'm sorry. It has absolutely no substance. I literally am just hitting buttons on a keyboard and there is nothing important hidden in the words. What a terrible world we've made for ourselves. If you read all of this section hit me up and I'll mail you a dollar.

Travel plans, location updates, current obsessions, and other stuff

Below is a map of Central-South Florida. It's where I grew up and currently live. It's hot, and I plan on leaving in the next 5 years. I'm working on a plan-- anyway, that's not important. What's (slightly) more relevant are the links to my social media accounts which are below the map, at the bottom of this webpage. There you'll find a GitHub trove of broken repos, a totally barren Twitter feed, and a Snapchat QR code which is completely useless if you have my phone number.

...well, thanks for checking out my website. I think that's all I have for now. If you're here to consider paying me to work for you, well, then you probably shouldn't. I mean, you couldn't decide and proceeded to read my entire homepage? What are you even doing? Are you being paid for this? What sort of company do you work for, even? Probably a super lame one! You should send me an email so I can remember never to work for whoever pays you. For real that must be, like, a terrible company to work for! Who would ever accept that job? I'm sure it sucks to work there! I bet the pay is small too. Probably has a terrible work-life balance as well. Sounds awful, honestly. I hope you find something better. You deserve it. For real. Good luck.
