Most of what I do lands in one of two places: making a model competent at the software a person already uses, or building the thing underneath that lets it keep going without a human watching. The roles, the benchmark numbers, and the repositories are all on the work page.
Off the clock
The rest of it
I have not missed a first-day show for a Marvel, Star Wars, or DC release in years, and somewhere along the way I absorbed an unreasonable amount of Tolkien, Harry Potter, and Dune lore. That, plus what I play, is on the pop culture page.
Otherwise: the occasional patch to Linux and Omarchy, cats and dogs in equal measure, and far more Reddit lurking than posting — except in r/batmanarkham, where I am an asylum inmate in good standing.
