Hi! I’m V (pronouns: she/they). I’m a network engineering and security major, expecting to graduate with my bachelor's in 2026. I also work full time as an IT consultant for my day job.

09.03.2025—a semi-productive weekend. trying to find a balance with taking time off and getting work done because there’s lots to do
