In terms of coding I often work on random personal projects. For example, I +essentially run my own desktop environment, I run a heavily modified version of suckless dwm, It is related to +linux as well but it is written in C, so I get some experience with that when I use it. It’s always fun to tinker around +with it since you get to see the results quite quickly and it’s something that I work with everyday. + +\section*{\textcolor{myblue}{References}} +Available upon request. + +\end{document} \ No newline at end of file
