// cs student & hobbyist builder

Hey, I'm Nick.

I started studying CS 2.5 years ago so I could build more technically impressive ways of annoying my friends. It snowballed. Now I know what Gram–Schmidt orthogonalisation is and I have a VPS. These days I work on things that are useful, occasionally things that are funny, and sometimes both at once.
