Welcome to my digital Garage
Hello World. My name is Kianu, I'm a programmer, scientist and overall hobbyist of many things. I love to tinker on different systems whether digital or analog and really get to the bottom of how things work. Creating things with intent, quality and care is at the core of every project I undertake and learning is the backbone of everything I accomplish.
What I'm after is somewhere where I can learn, work hard, grow and maybe make a little money too.
Experience
Languages. C, Python, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Rust.
Tooling. Emscripten / WebAssembly, Make, git, Linux (nixOS / Ubuntu), Neovim, Browser Tools.
Recent work. Designed and built this portfolio in C using Clay (Nic Barker's immediate-mode layout library), targeting WebAssembly. The statically-served version you're looking at is the deployment target; the Clay/WASM build is the technical centerpiece.
Looking for: An internship or Junior role where I can learn and shine, writing code and fixing problems.

Volunteer Work
Tech support for virtual communities
Helped people worldwide understand how to correctly set up their project file systems and investigated issues with community-used software to restore functionality for users across the globe on their own personal devices
Exploratory research
Conducted exploratory research on different retro consoles and video games to determine how to make their emulated files function on PC emulator solutions for those without access to a console or with a console that needed modifications to run efficiently. This included changing .bin files to trigger specific menus to bypass server handshakes with dead servers, allowing playability for otherwise abandonware games.
Hobbies & Other Work
Outside the terminal: I do macrophotography with a DSLR camera, I maintain multiple freshwater planted aquariums, I spend time going on hikes and backroads trips to discover smaller towns and economies in my region. I also work on embedded systems in my freetime building breadboards and prototyping custom solutions and replacements for mechanical and hardware components (3d printing replacement parts or finding alternatives)
A gallery and project notes will live on dedicated pages soon!
