The Technology I Use

A PC enthusiast for most of my life, I now work on a 14-inch MacBook Pro (M3) or 13-inch MacBook Air. You won't pry my Android from my hands, though! I have a Samsung S25 that has miraculously survived hundreds of accidental tumbles down my wood staircase.

My first desktop was a hand-me-down Power Macintosh in the early '90s, where I spent hours trying not to get eaten by a grue in the game Zork. I'm an avid reader, and though I prefer physical books, I travel with my old Nook GlowLight 3 (yes, they still exist).
