I'm raf, more commonly known as NotAShelf on most online spaces. This is my personal webpage, which is actually pure plaintext due to my utmosts disdain for modern web technologies. Frequently Asked Questions *** Q: What do you do for a living? A: I am a professional sailmaker. I design, manufacture and sell sails. I also work as a part-time Political Science instructor for the time being. Sometimes I do digital art, other times I do sailing as a sport. *** Q: Did you study Computer Science? Why do you know programming? A: No, I graduated as an International Relations major. I've been teaching myself programming and Linux system administration since 2018. I mostly enjoy open-source software, and my primary stack (as of now) is mostly backend development in Go. Programming is something I enjoy as a tool to help me get from point A to point B, which is why I am interested in learning new technologies as much as I can. *** Q: How are the International Relations? A: They're good, thanks for asking. *** Q: What programming languages do you know? A: I mostly work with JavaScript, Typescript, Go, C and Nix. I also have some experience with Rust, C++ and Python. There are other languages I've used, but don't really consider noteworthy. I hate PHP. PHP probably hates me back. Good. *** Q: What do you do now? A: I am currently working on my PhD in Political Science where I conduct research on the impact of digital technologies on political participation and executive functions as well as the effects of open-source software. on said fields. I would love to go into further detail but I also would like to avoid doxxing myself. Just know that I get the prefix of "Doctor" when I'm done. I frequently work with Nix and NixOS, embedded programming and Linux systems in general. I also do some web development in my free time. *** If you want to contact me for any reason, you may just shoot me an email @ raf [at] notashelf [dot] dev.
