\section*{\textcolor{myblue}{Interests \& Hobbies}}
In a lot of my spare time I try to learn more about some of the different technologies that interest me a lot, in
particular I find Linux and UNIX the whole ecosystem around that very interesting so I spend a lot of time
dabbling around with that, so for example, I have a raspberry pi that I use a pseudo-home server, I have a file
server on there and I use PiHole to block advertisements on my network, and I have some automation tasks that
run on the files on the file server. 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. Its always fun to tinker around
with it since you get to see the results quite quickly and its something that I work with everyday.
