Here, you can find some other things that are of interest to me.
-# Computer-Related
+# Computer-Related #
+I have been using computers all my life, and I have always had a fascination with these machines.
+My love of computers has directly influenced my interests.
+
+## Software ##
As someone who uses [NixOS](https://nixos.org), I am extremely interested in the Nix world.
* [Nix](https://github.com/NixOS/Nix) language/package manager
* [nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs), a collection of Nix expressions for building packages, including packages required for the NixOS operating system
* The [home-manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager) project, for managing your home directory dotfiles in a Nix-y way.
+I have made several contributions to home-manager:
+ * Refactor the [mbsync/isync](https://isync.sourceforge.io/) [configuration module](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/1360) for greater control over how email is fetched.
+ * Add a [configuration module](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/1353) for [mu](https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/), an email indexing and searching program.
<!-- Add projects I have contributed too. -->
In addition, as I enjoy C programming, but enjoy the type-correctness of Haskell, [Rust](https://rust-lang.org) has been of particular interest for me.
+## Hardware ##
Also, as a Computer Engineer, I am also thoroughly interested by the hardware side of things too.
-As far as computer/CPU architectures are concerned, I am interested in [RISC-V](https://github.com/riscv).

+During the spring semester of 2021, I will be conducting research in this area, in collaboration with [Alexander Lukens](https://alukens.com/).
