DESCRIPTION
Curious and perpetually learning about all things computing. I've had some
formal tertiary education (dropped out to be a music producer/DJ) in
linguistics, embedded systems & software engineering, complemented by 15+
years of experience in almost every domain of computing.
Currently spending a lot of time writing bare metal for Bluetooth Low Energy
& ARM Cortex-M based devices. In my spare time, I'm starting to get into
kernel development.
Contemplating on going back to university so I can get a piece of paper that
says I'm qualified at this stuff.
