i am an immortal programming goddess and a trans ≈woman.
i’ve been programming for over a decade, and in that time i’ve worked on [a wide variety of projects](/projects/).
my pronouns are [ze/hir or it/its, or, if you absolutely must for some reason, she/her](https://pronoun.gdn/ze/hir?or=it&or=she).

i exist in a lot of places:
<ul class="profile-everywhere-list">
<li><a rel="me" href="https://cohost.org/cactus">cohost</a> (RIP)</li>
<li><a rel="me" href="https://twitter.com/boring_cactus">twitter</a>, alas</li>
<li><a rel="me" href="https://github.com/boringcactus">github</a></li>
<li><a rel="me" href="https://ko-fi.com/boringcactus">ko-fi</a></li>
<li><a rel="me" href="https://www.youtube.com/@boringcactus">youtube</a></li>
<li><a rel="me" href="https://www.twitch.tv/boringcactus">twitch.tv</a></li>
<li><a rel="me" href="https://tacobelllabs.net/@cactus">mastodon</a></li>

<li><span id="index/replace-with-email-link">email: <code>melody@&lt;this domain&gt;</code></span></li>
</ul>

currently, by day i’m a software engineer at the [Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's Customer Technology Department](https://ctd.mbta.com/).
by night i am the proprietrix of [Somnolent Succulent Studio LLC](https://somnolentsucculent.studio), but most of the time i just play final fantasy xiv.
occasionally i’ll work on side projects or write blog posts (containing opinions that are my own and not those of my employer), like these:

{% for post in collections.post reversed %}
{% unless post.data.unlisted %}
- [{{ post.data.title }} ({{ post.date | date: "%d %b %Y", "Etc/UTC" }})]({{ post.url }})
{% endunless %}
{% endfor %}
