 Add #introvert to the list, too.
#Wisconsin native. I love #flyfishing the spring creeks of the driftless area (always catch and release).

I program #SpringBoot web services and have now managed to avoid managing people. I used to program dev tools & before that, program mobile phones.

Once ran the same early Windows 8 build instance on both a hypervisor and native boot.

Old enough to remember #Symbian #C++.

I really like painting miniature figures like those produced for #warhammer, but am not so keen on #GamesWorkshop.

#OnePageRules is my current #TableTop #Wargaming jam.

Involved in some kind of computer bullshit.

Fan van #linux (al ben ik er nu wat minder actief mee bezig). En als trouw luisteraar van #damnhoney zou ik me bijna #feminist kunnen noemen.
