$ cat /etc/profile

Software Engineer with a focus on systems programming, 
performance optimization, and elegant problem-solving.

I'm William, a software engineer who thrives at the intersection of low-level systems and clean, efficient code. I've spent over a decade exploring the depths of software, from assembly to high-level abstractions, always seeking to understand how things work from first principles.

My philosophy is simple: software should be reliable, performant, and maintainable. I believe that understanding the full stack—from hardware to user interface—leads to better solutions and more resilient systems.

Beyond the Terminal

When I'm not coding, I'm often:

• Tinkering with vintage computing hardware
• Exploring the outdoors on hiking trails
• Reading about computer architecture and design
• Contributing to open source projects
• Playing strategy games that exercise the same problem-solving muscles used in programming
