I'm Kaylynn (she/her) - lots of people call me Kay, or just "k", but Kaylie works too. I'm really not too fussed -
whatever floats your boat!
I'm a software engineer from Australia, and like many other "good at computer" people I just want to run away from the
creeping silicon panopticon of modern society to live on my own in the woods with eight cats. Teaching sand to think was
a mistake.
Other than that, I spend my spare time talking to friends, playing games that I'm bad at, and listening to music. I also
use my spare time to take an ungodly amount of photos of my cat because she is cute and I love her. I do some writing
occasionally too, and most of that ends up here on my blog.
Find me
on GitHub. I don't publish repositories here often.
on Bluesky and formerly Twitter. This is
where most of my ramblings go.
on Discord as @kaylynn.gay. Feel free to just send a friend request - I don't bite!
Interests & hobbies
cats cats cats cats cats cats i love cats
Functional programming, category theory, type systems.
Compilers, low-level and systems programming.
Music! I love music. Please please please send me music! I listen to a bunch of stuff, so don't worry about genre.
Digital art and 3D modelling. I hop into blender every so often.
Mahjong. I'm not the best at it, but I enjoy it a lot! The client I use is
MahjongSoul, and my UID is 122978798. If you wanna play sometime, feel free to
get in touch!
Languages, technologies and other indecencies
Rust. It's what I use for this site!
Python. My first programming language, and one that I still have a soft spot for.
Unity & C#. I love gamedev and I still have an itch for it. C# sucks though.
Formal grammars and parsers. A while ago I decided that I wanted to write a parser generator, and I haven't been the
same since.
This isn't an exhaustive list - I have experience with lots of other tools and languages - but I'm the most familiar
with these.
