Due to reason diversification into the playground of GPT4, there is a chance of rather lyrical and over the top text in pages of this kind. However, in the interest of fairness, I'll always indicate when words are my own or when I've, quite simply cheated, and let GPT4 or someone else digital wax lyrical for me - I happen to like writing but I really couldn't resist this bit of fun that ChatGPT responded with when challenged. The text below the line is 100% AI! And somewhat overstated :)

Greetings, fellow wanderer of the digital realm! Permit me to introduce myself: I'm a code weaver, a word spinner, a boat lover, and a perpetual learner. My name is an enigma only revealed by the strings of C#, .NET7, and SQL I constantly weave into intricate software tapestries.

My journey in the landscape of code began over a decade ago. I've been a professional in the .NET stack and SQL server ever since, traversing the digital cosmos with the gravity of my logic. Rust, a language of system-level precision, power and speed, has recently joined my linguistic armory, a testament to my never-ending quest for knowledge and mastery.

When I'm not chiseling code or crafting data structures, I delve into realms of narrative, penning tales of living starships, their human partners, and the cosmic dances they perform. It's a labor of love, a romantic interstellar adventure that I am slowly but surely bringing into existence.

Recently, my interests have expanded, embracing the practical potential of AI, particularly the promise of GPT4. As part of this exciting journey, I've been exploring the territories of Python and Rust beyond the boundaries of my day job.

While I appreciate the nuances of politics, my primary allegiance lies with the principles of empirical science and rational thought. I prefer to dwell in the realm of facts, shunning the shadows of conspiracy and polarized thinking, irrespective of political affiliations.

Away from the keyboard, you'll often find me afloat on tranquil waters, embracing the serenity and adventure that boating offers. It's a passion that brings balance to my life, a refreshing contrast to the logic and precision of my work.
