Though I like exploring varied technology domains once in a while, my major areas of interest revolve around the web. I am an avid FOSS enthusiast, and am happy to have started contributing this year.
I'm a hobby designer too, and love Fedora's artwork and designs. I'm excited to begin my Open Source adventures with Fedora, and hope to learn new stuff and interesting people ;)
