About Me
I'm an independent student of computer science, exploring the field strictly as a personal pursuit. My primary areas of focus—programming in C and Perl, shell scripting, and cryptography—are deeply grounded in my appreciation for the roots of computing.
Because of this, I am drawn to the quiet resilience of UNIX-like systems, favoring the reliability of a text-first, minimalist approach over unnecessary complexity. I am perfectly happy working directly from the command line, whether I'm running OpenBSD on my desktop with just cwm and xterm, or using macOS for its clean design and underlying BSD foundation.
The domain x7e.org is a nod to 0x7e, the hexadecimal ASCII value for the tilde (~), which represents the home directory in POSIX systems.
Currently Studying
A few books and subjects I am currently exploring:
- C Programming: A Modern Approach — K. N. King
- Code, 2nd Edition — Charles Petzold
- Networking for System Administrators, 2nd Edition — Michael W. Lucas
