Some of my work is public on GitHub.
Solely to avoid identity theft, I also have an account on LinkedIn. I don't use it, so please don't message me on it, etc.
Note that any accounts other than the above are not mine.

I work in the building known on campus as “the CIT”; see directions by various forms of transport.
My office number is 377. If you're sufficiently nerdy, you can think
of it as 0400 - 1
.
From the front entrance of the CIT, take the two sets of doors to get to the main atrium. Take either elevator up to the third floor. Exit the elevator and go past the stairs right in front of you to the atrium, in the direction of the glass windows. As you head in that direction, room 377 is along the wall to your left.
