Network engineer and computer tinkerer.
I'm queer and non-binary, so if you're interested in my non-tech journey, definitely follow my non-tech-focused account: @internet_ryan
It should go without saying, but none of my interactions on social media reflect the views of any of my employers, past or present.

Relationships are work. Changing is work. So as you can imagine, bringing change into a relationship β especially one that's been established for a while β is *so* much work.
When I came out in June 2024, there was an underlying sense of determination for Clara and I. We'd been "weird enough to make this work" so far. The following year and a half has been rough, at times, but I'm constantly thankful that I get to show up as "me" after being afraid to do that for so long.
@Corgisaurus and I got married on Pi Day (March 14th) thirteen years ago. I'm posting this a day late, but only because I was focused on enjoying the beautiful space and time we get to share for a few days.
Happy anniversary, my dear. Here's to all the memories we've shared, and to continuing to be "weird enough to make this work." π
