Hello! I'm Anna (she/her) also known as graceful.liberty.

I'm a Physics and Applied Computing student at the University of Washington Bothell.

I have about 10 years of non-professional experience writing and maintaining software, as well as administrating Linux servers. I prefer to work deep in the internals of software, building fundamental libraries for bigger projects. I'm also proficient with Web technologies and UI design.

My favorite languages to work with are Rust and Scheme, but I am also adept with C, Python, Go, Java, C++, JavaScript, and Zig.

I'm passionate about making software that's understandable for people through visual, literate, and natural language programming. To that end, I'm working on a tool called ReTangled to make literate programming more accessible. Because of this, I never vibecode. I write about my thoughts related to this and other topics in my articles.

When I'm not creating software or studying physics, I read sci-fi, write short stories, play Go, and perform theatre.
