# About Me
{{< left-nav >}}
<!-- more -->
### 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 &#x1F3F8; at the rec.
