I'm a software developer from Melbourne, Australia. I like open-source and warm
weather (Melbourne is not in the warm part of Australia unfortunately). I enjoy
tinkering with computers, ranging from small microcontrollers up to large
servers and the operating systems that run upon them.

I run [Arch Linux] on [my desktop computer][my desktop] and [Void
Linux (musl)][Void Linux] on [my laptop], with the [Awesome] window manager.
The [server hosting this website][my server] runs [Alpine Linux].
You can read more about my OS adventures on [bitcannon.net].

I enjoy typing on mechanical keyboards. I have a small collection in a range of
sizes. All are fully programmable. My current favourite is a Filco Majestouch
Ninja 2, which has had the factory controller replaced with a programmable one.

[Rust] is my programming language of choice. I am fairly active in the Rust
community and curate [Read Rust], a website that collects interesting posts
from the Rust community.

I work at [YesLogic] on the [Prince] HTML to PDF converter. Prince is a very
interesting product to work on as it is essentially a web-browser that outputs
well typeset PDFs. It is largely implemented in the [Mercury] logic programming
language, with portions now in [Rust] as well.

I am fine with either he/him or they/them pronouns.
