Congratulations! You Have Successfully Stalked Me!

I used to have this website shoehorned into my LinkedIn but I felt that it sort of hindered my ability to express myself freely. The reality is that I'm a pathological shitposter at heart and really value the ability to just info dump random crap that I've learned or find funny out into the void, I say the void because there tends to be few opportunities to do this effectively in person.
I write a lot of code and sometimes I write about the code that I've written. Some of that stuff goes here. I also write about random stuff I find interesting or funny, some of that stuff also goes here. When I have the energy, I like to build things or write about whatever interests me in the moment in a mostly-serious manner. When I don't have the energy for that, I like to satirize various inanimate objects and socioeconomic abstractions because I think it's funny to do so and not a lot of people are doing it, which means I need to take matters into my own hands.
You might be wondering why someone would (with admitedly quite small risk) be willing to potentially jeopardize their career prospects by using a personal website tied to their name to essentially post off-handed shitposts for their own self-amusement. I really don't know, but I wrote a brief summary about myself below:
I grew up with a love for building things but lacked the means to effectively do so. I found programming to be an effective way to deal with this as the only tool needed is a computer and the only facility needed is a place to sit. I decided to study electrical engineering because I thought electricity was cool and I didn't understand it. I still don't understand it but now I'm significantly better at writing code that makes use of it in some way to interact with reality, something I find deeply satisfying.
Right now I'm writing firmware for Transceivers (SerDes), which is basically a special chip that yeets data over a physical connection one bit at a time as fast as the laws of physics and R&D funding/efficiency will allow (yes I know this is a huge oversimplification).
My current interest at the moment lies mainly in signal processing, as that is what is most applicable to my current job, as well as being overall quite useful for a lot of other cool things that I'd like to explore in the future.
Outside of nerd stuff I like to run, work out, or do anything involving a bike or skis. I recently started getting into climbing for use both as a socialization vector and as a means of keeping my childhood dream of getting into mountaineering alive as I fearlessly move from large urban center to large urban center in search of the career and capital advancement required to fund it. I also read a lot of books.
