#+title: About Me
Hi, I'm jjanzen. I'm currently a master's computer science student at the University of Manitoba. 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.
Hi, I'm jjanzen. I'm currently a master's computer science student at the University of Manitoba, focusing on theoretical topics. This is my website that I use to host a Git server and some projects.
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 for quick configuration tasks. 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 often.
Visit the [[./dotfiles][Dotfiles]] tab to see my current system configurations. I'm running NixOS on my desktop (although it's broken right now) and Mac OS on my laptop.
- I greatly enjoy participating the free and open source software community, reading, music, taking walks, drinking tea, and configuring my text editor.
- I am a member of the [[https://home.cs.umanitoba.ca/~gada/][Geometric, Approximation & Distributed Algorithms (GADA)]] Lab at the University of Manitoba.
- My thesis topic is on the decidability of producing microfluidic mixing graphs using a single component that performs a perfect mixture of two droplets
- I have an additional interest in computational geometry
