IDENTITY_CONFIRMEDThe name is Salman, and I'm whatever I got interested in this week. Explaining myself is hard because it triggers my internal identity crisis, am I an SRE? Am I a kernel security researcher? Or am I just a young fella that acts bigger than what he is?
The only thing holding my sanity is the fact that my love for technology is driven by emotions. I don't initiate engineering unless art calls for it. Most of the time, my works are references to Vocaloid songs, niche video games, and old online subcultures.
I took Computer Engineering as my field of study, going against my dad's wishes. That's funny because it shows how my chaotic, FOMO-erratic decision-making can lead me. But that FOMO was worth it. After all, I can't imagine a life where I don't understand how Hatsune Miku correlates to FFT, or missing out on the mind-boggling concept of the alien technology that recreates silicon on command using semi-C code (aka FPGAs).
In the end, I want to explain one last part about me: why Kirisame? What's even Kirisame? Isn't Kirisame a woman's name in Japanese?
Kirisame for me is a reference to a very relatable character... Marisa Kirisame!
The premise of her story is very simple: she's the only human in a world of deities, freaks, monsters, and demons. She's handy, she competes with them using sheer willpower even if she didn't have an innate talent, a strong background, or a legendary mentor.
She's the ordinary wizard. She steals magic, repurposes it, and upgrades it in her own way—just like how I forge together open-source tooling to create something powerful dictated by me.
