I'm happy when life's good, and when it's bad I cry.

I've got values but I don't know how or why.

—"The Seeker"

I am an amateur singer and humorist, with a day job in the Information Technology field.

In the future, at a point when you are not expecting it, I may rock you.

On Wikipedia I got my start by fixing typos and gradually branched out into style improvements, link repairs, and disambiguation. I still perform these kinds of tasks, but have also been creating articles, particularly for WikiProject Women in Red. Since 2016 I've made a focus of translating articles from Spanish Wikipedia into English.

I enjoy having fine-grained control over editing, so I don't employ any automated tools.

I am often present on the Discord server.

He/him pronouns please.

My works[edit]

A Vandal's History of Everything - humorous narratives I've assembled from the many nonconstructive edits which have been made to Wikipedia articles over the years (contains NSFW language)

My comic at stripcreator - a silly webcomic, using canned graphics to compensate for my utter inability to draw

Mashups at SingSnap - listen to me sing mixed-up versions of various songs

Paneclecticon - my Tumblr, containing links to new content from the sites above, as well as random thoughts and links
