\item[\faGlobe]\textbf{Environmentalism} -- Sustainability is a significant aspect of my life. In order to combat e-waste and financially support my studies, I've recently starting buying broken electronics online, repairing them then selling them. I currently do basic repairs, but I'm learning to solder for more advanced repairs.
\item[\faUsers]\textbf{Ethical \& Open Source technology} -- I'm a big advocate for ethical and open source technology. I used to volunteer and act as Technical Director for a non-profit organization (hfet.org - which sadly doesn't exist any more) that raised awareness for ethical technology. We provided security/privacy guides and hosted several user-respecting alternatives to popular services. I also attend numerous Open Source based conferences (FOSDEM, OSFC etc...) to keep up to date on the latest in Open Source.
\item[\faServer]\textbf{Self-hosting} -- I self-host a lot of personal services at home and on the cloud. I enjoy learning new technologies to power-up my workflows and lessen my dependence on potentially unsustainable technologies.
\item[\faCode]\textbf{Scripting \& Automation} -- When I switched to Linux, I found myself using the terminal whenever I faced an issue. Nearly 10 years later, I have numerous scripts and automations that improve my desktop usage. I've also been able to transfer that knowledge to server use-cases.
\item[\faGamepad]\textbf{Gaming} -- When I'm not doing any of the above, I enjoy gaming to relax. It's a good medium for me to interact with my friends who live abroad. I'm also a perfectionist - always aiming to get all the collectibles and achieve the best scores in any game.
