Hello, I'm dish.

My main focuses are cybersecurity, system administration, and user experience.

I enjoy building things from scratch, tinkering, and try to deeply understand the tools I work with.

Currently, I'm a student at a university in the United States, working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Cybersecurity.

However, my personal interests lie slightly closer to networking and system administration rather than pure cybersecurity.

I've run my own homelab and servers for years(in fact, this website is hosted on one of them!), and they've been a very enjoyable experience to maintain.
In my personal life, I'm a {{ comp.flag_text({flag:"trans"}) }} woman, and I spend lots of time advocating for trans rights in the spaces I'm in. I feel very strongly that trans rights are human rights, and do my best to uplift all voices, though I am not perfect.

Find more about my projects on the Projects page, or read my blog(both linked in the header!), as I've put a lot of time into my projects and that blog.
