I'm Calin Baenen – AKA KattyTheEnby – a programmer born October 30th, 2006. I love programming, it has been my passion since I was a kid, and will forever be my passion.
Wanting to program since third grade, acting on that in late-fourth, early-fifth, grade, making a bunch ov different projects, getting into linguistics, learning Swedish, making my own website('s HTML, CSS, JS, etc...) from scratch, and all the other nerd stuff.

A person of high intelligence who typically does not fit into popular social groups. Geeks tend to make friends with other social outcasts with similar hobbies and/or interests.

I am a student, a developer and one who is always curious about tech. I love Linux, FOSS, Collaboration, the Git workflow and hence I am active in GitHub working on personal + community projects.

If the title of this post got you to read it, and especially if it got you to comment on it.... 😂
