# About Me

Hi! I'm Avery, an undergraduate computer science student based in Victoria, Australia. I fell into computer science and programming in my primary school years, moving from ICT labs in [Scratch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch_(programming_language)) to my first taste of programming literature in a copy of the first edition of [Python For Kids](https://nostarch.com/python-kids-2nd-edition) gifted to me on my birthday.
Hi! I'm Avery, an undergraduate computer science and game development student based in Victoria, Australia. I fell into computer science and programming in my primary school years, moving from ICT labs in [Scratch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch_(programming_language)) to my first taste of programming literature in a copy of the first edition of [Python For Kids](https://nostarch.com/python-kids-2nd-edition) gifted to me on my birthday.

In the realm of computing in general, I find myself most interested in games development (the reason I learned to program in the first place), security (a frequent thread I find myself following), and human input. In computer science particularly, I am interested in secure programs and how we define "correctness" in the context of them. As a result of these intersections, I write a lot of Rust and Lisps - particularly Clojure and Common Lisp. Outside the realm of computer science, you'll find me talking a lot about keyboards, literature and linguistics, video games, and accessibility.

I do most of my programming in Emacs on Linux. Much in accordance with the other explanations I've given for the things I pursue and love, it is responsible for my bordering-on-unhealthy (promise I'm not dogmatic about it!) obsession with the S-expression.
My interests in computer science include security, input methods, games development, and programming language theory. Outside of these, I write, design games, and think a lot about keyboards. I do most of my programming in Emacs on Linux. My favourite languages include Rust, Common Lisp, and Clojure.

### Aside: This Blog
This blog was written in the lovely [Clojure](https://clojure.org/) language using the [Powerpack](https://github.com/cjohansen/powerpack) toolkit. The colour scheme is based on [ef-arbutus](https://github.com/protesilaos/ef-themes/blob/main/ef-arbutus-theme.el). There is currently no dark mode - in the interim, i recommend using [Dark Reader](https://darkreader.org/)
