Amateur open source enthusiast. I'm very much a generalist studying a wide range of disciplines, mostly artistic.

My current linux of choice is Ubuntu Studio. Although I quite enjoy Ubuntu OSE now that I'm encountering it for the first time. At least, I appreciate the pre-included applications.

Have some basic hobby experience. Built a Prusa under mentorship (although its broken for the indeterminate future) during and after college. Probably never going to fix it... and am interested in the OSE one. Tried out 3D ponics back then too, but didn't really like it. Currently growing what I can in dirt in a suboptimal urban patio environment, but am very interested in learning more about the aquaponics work. Believe the world needs a permaculture mindset. Have played with Adafruit, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi.

Hoping to contribute to the documentation as well. My education is in Technical Communication and Information Design. 8 years experience. I have some Instructional Design background as well. Currently work in marketing. Interested in developing with: python, FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, 3D printing, the GIMP, Inkscape, LibreOffice, etc. Hoping to assist in hosting Extreme Builds in my area.

I believe this is important work. I've admired the project since the early 2000s. I am currently doing the Developer Test and plan to contribute a minimum of 10hr/week.
