About

Aussie high school Hollow Knight geek with glasses. My pronouns are she/her and they/them. Also, it's pronounced 'reds', not 'redzed'.

I live at Programming Language Design and Implementation as the 148th user. Also an RO of The Garbage Collector, PLDI's main chatroom. Feel free to give me a ping!

I use C++, mostly for competitive programming, and Python, mostly for data analytics.

I go by Red, Dusky and Sightless, depending where you find me.

Other random stuff I do:

  • Teach singing (no kidding)
  • Set things on fire/explode random materials (can be used interchangeably)
  • Hyperfixate on Hollow Knight and wait for Silksong
  • Frantically check the review queues
