About me

ashes

I am a system engineer by heart and love to build things that are closer to these sillicon systems that govern our world.

I love open-source software and self-hosting. In fact, I've been managing my own self-hosted media server of sorts for the last four years.

An about me section wouldn't be complete without mentining my new-found love for reading. It started with a classic - Stoner by John Williams, however I soon found myself unable to hold back from the beautiful worlds of speculative fiction. And you get all sorts of variety. From Neal Stephenson's Anathem to Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed, and Robin Hobb's Assassin's Apprentice - I could go on and on...

Some of my favourite speculative fiction

  • The Book of the New Sun, by Gene Wolfe
  • The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss
  • The Devils, by Joe Abercrombie
  • Exhalation, by Ted Chiang

favourite movies & shows

  • Interstellar, by Christopher Nolan
  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, by Charlie Kaufman
  • Westworld, by Jonathon Nolan
  • Mr. Robot, by Sam Esmail
Reach out to me on X to recommend some excellent hard sci-fi books of this calibre!
