 8## Hi.
 9
10I'm Anirudh, and I go by **icyphox** on the Internet. I'm doing my
11undergrad right now, majoring in Computer Science. My primary interest
12is security---information, operational and national. Tradecraft,
13espionage and military tactics interest me deeply, and I love discussing
14them.
15
16I care about software freedom and digital privacy, and I am a staunch
17advocate of the same. I try to use free alternatives to software, if
18they exist.
19
20I write code at times, begrudgingly. Take a look at my projects on
21[GitHub](https://github.com/icyphox).
22
23My taste in music is very specific, and I hardly ever experiment. I like
24to stick to subgenres of metal, specifically---metalcore and deathcore.
