About Me

+ Hi, I'm Jacob. I'm a current undergraduate computer science student at the + University of Manitoba and infrastructure developer at the National + Microbiology Lab. I'm planning on continuing on to do a master's degree at + the U of M as well. +

+ My big interests outside of computers these days are tea and fountain + pens. I also am really into literature, but haven't been able to find the + time to read all that much as of late. +

+ In terms of computers, the hardware I'm most interested in is older video + game consoles (which I want to eventually start some projects with) and + microcontrollers. I like being able to fully understand how the hardware + works which becomes a challenge for more complicated devices. +

+ In a similar vein, I like being able to understand the software that I use + which is why I like using free (as in freedom) software. Emacs is my text + editor of choice although I also use (neo)vim on remote machines (and at + work due to some incompatibilities with the available version of Emacs and + my configuration). My language of choice for personal projects is C. I + enjoy the limited number of keywords in the language as it allows me to + keep the full language inside of my head and allow me to focus on writing + the algorithms, although Python is nice for rapid prototyping. Go is a + nice middle-ground that I choose sometimes when I want faster code than + Python or a stronger typing system. Another language that I enjoy is Rust, + although I don't find myself writing it very often. +
