--- template: about.html title: about subtitle: Stuff about me, and stuff. --- # обо мне ## Hi. I'm Anirudh, but you'll often find me as **icyphox** (or just **icy**), on the Internet. I'm majoring in Computer Science currently. My primary interest is security -- with a focus on influence operations, information warfare and state-sponsored actors. I write code on the occasion, most of which you can find on my [GitHub](https://github.com/icyphox). I care about software freedom and digital privacy, and I am a staunch advocate of the same. I try to use free alternatives to software, if they exist. My taste in music is very specific, and I hardly ever experiment. I like to stick to subgenres of metal, specifically -- metalcore and deathcore. Here are some of my links: - [Lobsters](https://lobste.rs/u/icy) - [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Icyphox) - [Reddit](https://reddit.com/u/icyphox) - [Steam](https://steamcommunity.com/id/icyphox) - [Last.fm](https://last.fm/user/icyphox) - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/icyphox) Note that my Twitter is now read-only. I'm more active on the fediverse: https://toot.icyphox.sh/@x ## Contact Send mail to [x@icyphox.sh](mailto:x@icyphox.sh). It is also my XMPP address; please use OMEMO. Should you need it, my PGP key: [FE1B 8FCF E6C1 6222 F157 1C8E 8A93 F96F 78C5 D4C4](/static/gpg.txt). I'm also on IRC @ Freenode and Rizon, usually as `icy` / `icyphox`. If you're interested in **hiring me** -- here's my [résumé](https://x.icyphox.sh/resume.pdf). ## Donate I have [Liberapay](https://liberapay.com/icyphox) and [Patreon](https://patreon.com/icyphox)! I don't particularly _need_ it, but it does help with domain and server costs. :) ## This website This site is built using a small static site generator written by me: [vite](https://github.com/icyphox/vite).

That's the [XXIIVV webring](https://webring.xxiivv.com), and this site is on it!
