8## Hi.
9
10I'm Anirudh, but you'll often find me as **icyphox** (or just **icy**),
11on the Internet. I'm majoring in Computer Science currently. My primary
12interest is security -- with a focus on influence operations,
13information warfare and state-sponsored actors. I write code on the
14occasion, most of which you can find on my
15[GitHub](https://github.com/icyphox).
16
17I care about software freedom and digital privacy, and I am a staunch
18advocate of the same. I try to use free alternatives to software, if
19they exist.
20
21My taste in music is very specific, and I hardly ever experiment. I like
22to stick to subgenres of metal, specifically -- metalcore and deathcore.
