boringcactus (Melody Horn)

i am an immortal programming goddess and a trans ≈woman. i've been programming for over a decade, and in that time i've worked on a wide variety of projects. my pronouns are ze/hir or it/its, or, if you absolutely must for some reason, she/her.

a wide variety of projects

ze/hir or it/its, or, if you absolutely must for some reason, she/her

i exist in a lot of places:

see me retweet nonsense you don't care about on twitter
see me share longer nonsense you don't care about on cohost
watch me occasionally stream things on twitch
watch various kinds of permanent video content on youtube
give me money once on ko-fi or on an ongoing basis on patreon
if you must, email me at `melody@<this domain>`

currently, by day i'm a software engineer at the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority's Customer Technology Department. by night i play final fantasy xiv and occasionally work on side projects or write blog posts (containing opinions that are my own and not those of my employer), like these:
