okay uh intro time
my name is pronounced "sheesh", i went by he/they until recently but i think i'mma try just they/them and see how that feels
i've been a software developer for about 15 years, though recently i've been focusing more on infrastructure, infosec/privacy, and digital data sovereignty
nerdy shit aside, i like bicycling, making ramen, whistling, plant-based food, being silly, environmentalism/sustainability, anime, art, dogs, self improvement, good therapists, foxxos, and supporting queer folks and bipocs
i hate cars, bigots, posting pics of myself online, seagulls, at least half the cis guys ive met, the IDF, headaches, bad therapists, black licorice, and most AI & blockchain implementations i've seen thus far
if you're in tiohtia:ke/montreal, you might've seen me either riding around on my bike in the summer with no shirt on, or walking comically fast in the winter while kicking slush onto my calves 😮💨
as for music, i'm into all kinds of stuff but suck at genres so u can judge me based on whatever i toot/boost
my profile pic is an illustration reminiscent of the movie posters for akira, but kaneda is approaching a bicycle
