      <h2><i class="far fa-comment-dots"></i> Hi, I&rsquo;m {{ site.author.name }}.</h2>
      <p>
        I build <i class="fas fa-wrench"></i> software <i class="fas fa-globe"></i> at home <i class="fab fa-fort-awesome-alt"></i> in Watsonville, California, United States <i class="fas fa-sun"></i>.<br>
        I'm a Creator <i class="fas fa-paint-brush"></i>, a Hacker <i class="fas fa-terminal"></i>, an Open Source Giver <i class="fas fa-parachute-box"></i>, an Entrepreneur <i class="fas fa-project-diagram"></i>, a Human-rights and Privacy Advocate <i class="fas fa-hand-holding-heart"></i>, an Audiophile and Musician <i class="fas fa-microphone-alt"></i>, an Amateur Historian/Private Investigator <i class="fas fa-user-secret"></i>, and an overall Mad Scientist <i class="fas fa-flask"></i> for peace.</p>
        <p>I believe the next 100 years will be a time of great struggle, and I am working for a transparent and harmonious future, where software and scientific tools are free, academia and education is non-biased, human rights are well-documented, universal and guaranteed, and all types of discrimination and oppression are erased and completely forgotton. I'm humbled to be a small part of one of the very few intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy.
