Ryan Marina's website (gitea, github, email)

Hi there! My name is Ryan Marina, and I'm a high schooler in the greater Nashville, Tennessee area. I'm a computer person at heart, but I'm also an amateur musician and a mock legislator. I've been using computers for as long as I can remember, and I'm interested in Linux/NixOS system administration and software development (mainly in Python).

I have way too many projects, but my most long-standing is my dotfiles repository. In it, I maintain a NixOS configuration for multiple machines, and various utility programs. Another cool project I'm working on right now is a Desmos-based ISA and its surrounding infrastructure, including an assembler. I also have written a whole lot of IRC robots, in both Python and C. There's more projects on the Gitea instance.

Additionally, I self-host a variety of materials here, including a password manager, a private code forge, and a CalDAV server.

I also play the French horn at a somewhat-competent level. I've had the honor and privilege of being selected to multiple honor ensembles and I've met many other tremendous musicians as well.

In addition to computers and music, I am also an avid mock legislator and participant in conferences run by the YMCA Tennessee Center for Civic Engagement. My fellow delegates and I have tackled issues from pollution on the Tennessee River to the worldwide dilapidation of dams and other water bearing structures. My colleagues and I have also earned various awards as a result of our legislation.
