Hi, I'm puppy!
You may also know me as duckie, duckinator, or Ellen because I seem to collect names the same way I collect domains.
I'm a programmer and musician, based in Brockton, MA.
I primarily program in Rust, C, Python, and Ruby. I help maintain RubyGems and develop open-source communication software.
My music is on Bandcamp and the Internet Archive, under the CC-BY 4.0 license.
You may also be interested in my photography and drawings.
My name is a typography pun. Ellen Marie Dash. EM Dash.
