# About Me
import Intro from "../content/partials/shortBio.md";
Hi there! :wave:
<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
I also love to participate in computing related student groups at the University
of Minnesota. Here's some of the groups that I'm involved with:
- **[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.
- **[ACM]**.
I was webmaster in undergrad and wrote the current ACM website, as well as helping out with other events such as CTF.
Previously, I was also involved with:
- **[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 my public [Forgejo][2] instance.
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.
### Hobbies
I love cooking, listening to music, chess, bouldering, and beer.
If you're in the Minneapolis area, let's chat!
