Tea-totaler, librarian, and scientist of both information (MA) and computers (BS + MS). Currently pursuing PhD in Computer Science. Interested in personal computing, roads not taken, big dreams and liberatory projects. Vaguely solarpunk-aligned. I had a weird relationship to the 80s before it was cool.

Previously working with solver technologies for string constraints with the goal of finding injection vulnerabilities and possibly the meaning of life. Presently (and previously-previously) in the Polonius working group of the Rust compiler team.

I wish I spoke lojban so that at least my internal monologues would be syntactically unambiguous.

You may have previously known me under a different name.
