$ echo "ayo, i'm xero!"

a XX year old hacker from pittsburgh. {ab,}using my unix skills as the director of security. dedicated to releasing open source code & giving away my fonts for free. the kind of unix greybeard you'd call a "ricer" who has their dotfiles under version control. long hair, beard, black/grey clothes, hightop shoes, piercings, & tattoos. i'm married to the love of my life nina, we have two wonderful children, & a frisky bichon puppy named harley. and if you haven't noticed yet, i don't care for capitalization.

warez & workflows

as a self proclaimed unix wizard, i prefer to interact with my computer using the {shell,terminal,command line} living in the TTY via a framebuffer.

zsh is an extensible, bash like, interactive shell with awesome completion and correction engines. i manage multiple shell sessions with tmux, a feature packed terminal multiplexer with support for buffers, split windows, detached local and remote sessions, and more. my editor is neovim making me a member of the cult of vi. sing phrases to the 3rd reincarnation of the glorious ed! curl is my favorite tool for exploring the web. docker for containerizing and running custom services and workloads. and blink.sh is the terminal emulator that transforms my ipad into an actual computer.
