if you're new here, welcome. i'm an engineer who, when able, conceives tools that help thousands of people around the globe live life to the fullest. but only until robots make the work we do (hopefully not) obsolete.
outside of building tools of the future, "fufilment" for me comes from reading, particularly (manga) and (life) books. in a past life, i was a mega-band kid. all state musician, did DCI, performed at Carnegie Hall, in the thanksgiving parade, and toured all over the USA. i still bring out my clarinet for some Nielsen's concerto.
these days, i spend most of my time with my girlfriend - exploring cities, minding my damn business, thrill seeking, learning new things about the world, and enjoying this one life we have on this planet we call earth.

if you're new here, welcome. most people just call me Nyuma. i'm an everything software engineer building things before robots make me and you obsolete.
most of my engineering ardency is in real-time systems and lately, remote code execution. since i've started this journey, fulfillment's come from building (human) tools that help people live life to the fullest..
on a normal day, i find solace exploring urban areas and nature. additionally, i'm a huge performing arts geek, write tons of (random thoughts) and read honestly, too many (manga and life) books.
