My interests include programming, network administration and cybersecurity, photo/videography, graphic design and 3D modeling, railfanning, engineering and architecture, and as well as various scientific and mathematic fields. I live in the Philadelphia area in the United States with my three cats who provide companionship, emotional support and "assistance" with various projects.
I do not participate in popular corporate social media and communication sites, but rather opt for free-as-in-freedom, decentralized services such as the Fediverse and Matrix, as well as my own websites.
I firmly believe individual freedoms (especially around information and privacy) should be put above corporate and state interests, and this is reflected in that all of the work I publish on this site is free as in freedom. Generally, software is published under the GNU GPL v3 and creative works under CC BY-SA 4.0, however please check each individual work to be sure.
I can be contacted either by email at cc@crispy.cat or on matrix at @crispycat:matrix.calitabby.com. You can also leave comments throughout the site using the form below.
