Howdy, I'm Coren (he/they)

Some call me Kern.

I'm a Software Engineer passionate about freedom of information, privacy, open-source, and evolving with emerging tech.

An aspiring polyglot, I am meticulous, persistent, and creative in my ability to deliver solutions and apply humanistic principles in my work.

Yipp, yipp!

Recently, I've been focused on...
