You're very clever, young man. But it's turtles all the way down!

I'm Shane, a software developer by trade, but I try not to let my profession define who I am. This is a space for me to explore my interests which also include art, music, travel, culture, and the exploration of human consciousness.

Currently, I'm working hard in my secret lab trying to craft something of my own. I am open to employment opportunities if the fit is right. You can connect with me through one of the links below if you're interested in teaming up.

Most would prefer minimal interaction with the terminal. For me, the real value of WSL is in team environments.
