 7I'm Anirudh Oppiliappan, often found as **icyphox** (or sometimes just
 8**icy**) on the Internet. Below are a few things that interest me, and
 9can serve as conversation starters for you:
10
11- Security. All kinds of it: operational, physical, threat intel,
12  cloud-native, etc.
13- Infrastructure. Kubernetes, containers, observability.
14- Geopolitics and national security; mostly eastern Europe and Russia.
15- Motorsport. I closely follow F1, F2 and F3.
16- Startups. I work (and worked) for one.
17- Fitness. Strength training, calisthenics.
18- The Go programming language. I love Go and I swear by the standard
19  library.
20- Language learning. Spoken, obviously. Currently learning Russian. Big
21  fan of total immersion and comprehensible input.

48I'm available on IRC as `icy` on [libera.chat](https://libera.chat) and
49[rizon.net](https://rizon.net) but I'm likely to miss messages as I
50don't get notified. Use the above methods instead.
