I'm Sammy. A queer catgirl who loves working with computers. My pronouns are It/Its. Only It/Its. I love learning new things, trying out new technologies and exploring the unknown.
My first little steps into the world of IT already started as a little kitten. At age 12, I started learning LUA and the basics of server infrastructure to host Gameservers with custom code for a video game I had been playing.
Since then, I have been continuously expanding my knowledge in both programming and administration.
The linux command line is my cozy place. I selfhost almost everything. From cloud storage and media streaming to password management and social media. I also love Open Source. I like contributing to Open Source-Software and building my own tools to share with the world.
I am experienced in Web-Development with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, including Frameworks like React, Vue.js, and Svelte, as well as Backend-Development with NodeJS and Rust. I also know Python, and am generally able to learn new programming languages well and understand them quickly, even if I haven't used them much before. For example, I have also worked with PHP and Java Code in the past. Like I said, I love learning new things.
Besides all that computer stuff, I love sewing, especially making cute plushies. I also try to spend at least as much time outside in nature as I do inside in front of a computer screen. I love being around water and wild animals, I love walking through forests and listening to all the beautiful birdsongs.
Sometimes I try to make music and visual arts, it might not be much yet, but it's fun to play around with.
