M. Swenson
I'm an independent student of computer science, exploring the field strictly as a personal pursuit. My primary areas of focus—programming in C and Perl, shell scripting, and cryptography—are deeply grounded in my appreciation for the roots of computing.
Because of this, I am drawn to the quiet resilience of UNIX-like systems, favoring the reliability of a text-first, minimalist approach over unnecessary complexity. I am perfectly happy working directly from the command line, whether I'm running OpenBSD on my desktop with just cwm and xterm, or using macOS for its clean design and underlying BSD foundation.
This domain serves as a routing point for my hobby projects and experiments. You can find my repositories, system configs, and scripts hosted on Sourcehut.
