I'm Coal. I use they/them pronouns, and she/it if you're feeling that. Nice to meet you! 🌊
I do software engineering for a living. I primarily work as an infrastructure, security, platform, and DevOps engineer. Most of my professional background is in civic tech. I like to help make folks' days better. ❤️🔥
I cook a lot and like making fermented things like beer, kombucha, and pickles. I like cooking for others and sharing what I make. 🍲
I like playing tabletop RPGs like D&D, Pathfinder, and old-school systems like MÖRK BORG and Shadowdark. I'm always down for a game with friendly folks. ⚔️

Causes
These causes are very important to me and directly help marginalized and oppressed folks. It would mean the world to me if you supported them as well.
