 9I'm Anirudh Oppiliappan, often found as **icyphox** (or sometimes just
10**icy**) on the Internet. I currently live in beautiful Helsinki,
11Finland and work for [UpCloud](https://upcloud.com) as a Kubernetes
12Engineer. Below are a few things that interest me, and can serve as
13conversation starters for you:
14
15- Infrastructure and distributed systems.
16- Motorsport. I closely follow F1, F2 and F3.
17- Startups and indie-hacking. Admittedly, I don't know much but I follow
18  the space.
19- Fitness. Strength training, calisthenics.
20- The Go programming language. I love Go and I swear by the standard
21  library.
22- (Spoken) language learning. Currently learning Finnish. Big
23  fan of total immersion and comprehensible input.
24- Self-hosting and homelabbing.
25- Ergonomic keyboards. I like to build them. I also like to use them.
26- Electric skateboarding and PEVs.
27- 35mm film photography.
