+# About Me
+
+import Intro from "../content/partials/shortBio.md";
+
+<Intro />
+
+### Research
+
+Currently, I'm learning about [cubical type theory][cubical]. I'll probably
+write some blog posts as I learn more. My advisor is [Favonia].
+
+### University Involvement
+
+During my time at the University of Minnesota, I like to be actively involved in
+computing related student groups.
+
+- **[GopherHack]**. I'm one of the founding officers at the GopherHack
+  organization, hoping to grow a CTF community at the University. I prepare
+  material for club activities.
+- **[PL Seminar]**. A group focused on reading and discussing programming
+  languages related papers.
+- **[UMN Kernel Object]**. A group dedicated to studying operating system
+  development, created in the aftermath of the UMN Linux kernel controversy.
+
+Previously, I was also involved with:
+
+- **[ACM]**. I was webmaster and wrote the current website, as well as helping
+  out with other events such as CTF.
+- **[SASE]**. I was webmaster and was involved in organizing student group
+  events as well.
+
+### Open-source Projects
+
+Some of the projects I've been working on in my free time include:
+
+- **[Wisesplit]**. A tool for easily splitting the bill with friends.
+- **[Garbage]**. A CLI interface to the trash can API.
+- **[Leanshot]**. A Linux screen capture tool.
+
+More can be found on [this page][12] or my public [Gitea][2].
+
+I've also started making an increased effort at using and supporting [FOSS], and
+other software that're not predatory towards users. As a part of this effort,
+I'm also self-hosting and rewriting some of the services and software that I use
+regularly. Find out what I'm using [here][9].
+
+### Hobbies
+
+I'm also an avid rhythm game player and beatmap creator, mostly involved with
+the free-to-play game [osu!]. Check out some of my beatmaps on my osu!
+[userpage].
+
+I also enjoy playing badminton at the rec.
