* standard "taught myself" a lot of various tech skills. i like to solve problems with an arduino where applicable. * had a brief career as a professional martial artist many years ago. you could also technically say that i was a professional magic: the gathering player, too. * i technically dismembered my left arm. it got better. * i'm not an olympian, but i know quite a few, including medal winners. on a related note, i train and compete on the higher levels of sport fencing, and used to do the same for other martial arts. * i'm working a full-time job, trying to bootstrap a startup, and working on writing a book. * my canonical bacon number is 3. non-canonical is 2.
