<h2 class="about-title">Who I Am</h2>
<p class="about-text">
Well that's a complicated question to open with. How do I sum that up into a nice, neat blurb for the
internet? I can start with some simple easy to categorize attributes, that seems to be the usual
approach.
<br><br>
I was part of the <a rel="external" target="_blank" href="https://www.wpi.edu/">WPI</a> Class of 2017 and graduated
with a degree in mechanical engineering. My job is completely unrelated to my degree: I work as a
Site Reliability Engineer at <a rel="external" target="_blank" href="https://starry.com/">Starry, Inc</a>. I like
hiking, mechanical design, and literary theory. I'm a
<a rel="external" target="_blank" href="http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/type-1/">Type-1 Diabetic</a>, I have a
<a rel="external" target="_blank" href="https://www.solidworks.com/sw/support/797_ENU_HTML.htm">SolidWorks Professional Certification</a>,
and have accidentally flipped over very-nearly every time I've ridden in a canoe (bonus fact: I don't
like canoes very much).

<h2 class="about-title">What I Like</h2>
<p class="about-text">
Oof, and I thought the last section was difficult. I don't like talking about myself, in case that wasn't
obvious. Shoot, that's more of a personal detail, should it have gone in the last section? Whatever,
moving on.
<br><br>
My interests are somewhat varied and changing all the time, but consistently my main interests are in
solving problems and learning about how other people solved problems. I like the
<a rel="external" target="_blank" href="https://www.python.org">Python</a> programming language, the history of 19th and
20th centuries (particularly related to industry), and figuring out how to keep older cars working well
past their intended retirement date. I also like books! The
<a rel="external" target="_blank" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46654.The_Foundation_Trilogy">Foundation Trilogy</a>
(Isaac Asimov),
<a rel="external" target="_blank" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4671.The_Great_Gatsby">The Great Gatsby</a>
(F.Scott Fitzgerald), and
<a rel="external" target="_blank" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13047567-chaos-walking">Chaos Walking</a>
(Patrick Ness) are some of my favorites.
</p>
<h2 class="about-title">What I Do</h2>
<p class="about-text">
Ok this is the easy one, I do lots of things! I volunteer with
<a rel="external" target="_blank" href="https://www.mindsmatterboston.org/">Minds Matter Boston</a> as a youth mentor and give
unnecessarily enthusiastic tours at the
<a rel="external" target="_blank" href="https://waterworksmuseum.org/">Boston Metropolitan Waterworks Museum</a>. I also
work on a few open source software projects, try to travel when and where I can, and constantly find new things to
<s>break</s> fix on my car.
