Hey there, my name is Lafayette° (sometimes written as lafayette.degrees), but most people call me Laufey. If you're wondering where
that name comes from, it's the name of a mountain up in New Hampshire.
Who am I?
I am a proud Eagle Scout and have been since 2023. I currently go to school
at a Polytechnic Institute studying computer science with a concentration in cyber-security. I've spent a lot of time on the internet, so I know
just how important privacy really is. It's one of the last few things we have on the internet, seeing as creativity and honesty have been squandered.
I would consider myself a bit of a jack-of-all-trades. I am fluent in several programming languages (C, C++, Java), just now learning web-development,
skilled with graphic design (Photoshop for 2D, Maya for 3D), experienced with music production (FLStudio20), and also have spent a lot of time working
on games in Unity.
Outside of computers however, I really enjoy hiking and camping (wilderness survival in general), as well as biking, and started going to the gym
frequently since last Summer. Music is a big passion of mine, and some artists/bands I've been listening to a lot recently (at time of writing) are
TOOL, BONES, Gojira, Deftones, and Ye West (mainly his older stuff :/).
What is the purpose of this website?
Mainly so that I have a place on the internet that is 100% mine, to develop web-development skills, and to share my ideas & projects with others.
I think everyone needs some sort of outlet to express themselves. Do I think my articles/posts/projects contain world changing ideas? Probably not.
But that won't stop me from trying.
Thanks for reading!
