20 <p>
21 Hello! Welcome to my personal site. I believe a personal site gives me
22 the control we as a society have lost to mainstream platforms. Despite
23 this vast control, I still do not know what to put here 😁. This site is
24 very much <em>a work in progress</em>, but I hope to develop it into
25 something of which I will be proud.
26 </p>
27 <p>
28 I intend to logically organize everything... once I have something to
29 organize. I would like to have a blog, a dedicated projects page, and
30 maybe even a games page 😉.

44 My name is Demetrius S and I am a college student in my 20s pursuing a
45 Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Of course, a computer science
46 degree isn't all that I am!

51 <h2>What do I do?</h2>
52 <section>
53 <p>
54 Professionally, I work for my University's IT Help Desk. I like my
55 job, the people I work with, and the problems I solve. I would be
56 very happy to work in either the IT or the SWE field, as both fields
57 have problems I like solving. Maybe one day I can do both!
58 </p>
59 <p>
60 I also participate in some clubs at my University, and, when time
61 allows, I enjoy quite a few hobbies outside of my extracurriculars.

65 <h3>University Clubs</h3>
66 <section>
67 <h4>Cybersecurity Club, Vice President</h4>
68 <p>
69 So far, my role entails planning and facilitating meetings. The
70 task I enjoy most, however, is to listen and learn. Our club
71 President has a lot of informative things to teach us!
72 </p>
73 </section>
74 <section>
75 <h4>Computer Science Club, Treasurer</h4>
76 <p>
77 I took on this role recently due to a vacancy. I've lots to learn.
78 My friend, who acts as Treasurer for other clubs, is teaching me.

82 <h4>Competitive Programming Club, Member</h4>
83 <p>
84 I have gone to and competed in a few competitions in coordination
85 with the club. We've attended PACISE, ICPC, and others. It is an
86 amazing experience to solve a problem under stress!

91 <h3>Hobbies</h3>
92 <section>
93 <h4>Music: Curating and Listening</h4>
94 <p>
95 While I don't make music, I certainly enjoy finding new music.
96 Either from online or from other media like movies, music follows
97 me everywhere. One of the things about the Internet of which I'm
98 most grateful is the exposure to music I receive. Music in many
99 languages, even when not understood by me, still sounds great.
100 </p>
101 <p>
102 I've fallen in love with many genres throughout my life. One
103 consistent genre "type" has been electronic music. My life with EM
104 started with dubstep, but I soon grew out of the genre and moved
105 on to other things for a time. In late 2022, I stumbled upon a
106 drum and bass musician named LTJ Bukem. Because of him and others,
107 I enjoy jungle / drum and bass.
108 </p>
109 <p>
110 More conventional genres such as rock, rap, R&B, and pop have
111 also enjoyed a special spot in my life. From the era of Jimi
112 Hendrix to the decade of Nirvana, rock rocks! Also, rap and pop in
113 not just English but also other languages (such as French rap or
114 Russian pop) are things I return to periodically. I must say that
115 having just a little bit of curiosity when listening to music in
116 other languages really helps you learn even basic words and
117 phrases for fun.

126 I have amazing friends who teach me so much. The world, defined only
127 through my own lens, looks very small. These friends have made my
128 world so much larger.
