I'm knowledgeable about operating systems.
I'm good with math.
I eat junk food and drink energy drinks/soda.
I read about new techniques but am very wary of heavily marketed stuff.
I read a ton of Asian comics.

People assume that I know how to do webpages, they don't know what a web developer is. No, I don't know l. Well barely but not really, I'm a data engineer goddammit.
