Hello there! I’m Winter(they/he), and I hope you’re enjoying my webbed site.
I’m a person (as a convenience) and I seem to enjoy doing some things. These are include but are not limited to:
- computer programming ✨
- learning about woo stuff 🔮
- touching moss 🍀
- connecting with art 🎭
More Information
Both my undergraduate and graduate degrees are in the field of Computer Science. I have been a lifelong enthusiast of computers, and have a background originally in IT support. For my Masters thesis, I applied ransomware samples to VR headsets. I have spent some time in my education developing theory on reverse engineering. I am familiar with web development, fullstack. I have also interacted with various SQL-style databases, and some non-relational databases. I have spent many years using Unix and Unix-like systems, such as Linux and OSX. I regularly use BASH scripting to accommodate my goals at and away from work. I have spent some time doing embedded C work, predominantly for a IoT medical device at a YC startup, but now also as part of R&D at a climate control multinational. I also dabble in many other fields, but would not particularly consider myself well-versed in them, it’s mostly for fun. This includes psychology, biology, philosophy, and esoterica (the weird, the mystical, and the occult).
Academics
B.Sc, M.Sc - Computer Science (I like da blinkenlights)
Aside from the pieces of paper, I have spent most of my life Online, and am very well-versed in memes, internet subcultures, conspiracy theories, and all other elements of being exposed to the fount of human detritus.
If you want to send me things
My deepest most unobvious fascination is little indie games on http://itch.io that talk about someone’s life experience. Stuff that’s deeply real and personal in a way no other production of game can be. Got that shine of humanity in them.
I also like learning about all forms of mysticism, as long as they don’t veer into what I would call “mystical escapist world building”. Spiritual bypassing is totally a thing, and I avoid it like the plague it is.
I also like computer history! a lot! it’s an old romance for me.
