About me
I’m cyclopentane, or Vanessa/Alex in real life. I’m a theoretical physics student from Heidelberg, Europe, but also do computer science stuff as a hobby.
My interests:
- theoretical physics (mainly particle physics, quantum field theory, general relativity and their intersection)
- geometric algebra
- Nix/NixOS
- Rust and Julia
- decentralization
- , la .lojban.
- hard science fiction (favourite books: Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin and the Xeelee Sequence by Stephen Baxter)
- cats

This website
I built this website with a simple bash script running
pandoc and envsubst from gettext
inside a Nix derivation. Previously, I experimented with larger static
site generators like Hugo or Jekyll, but I found them way too complex
for the simple task of converting Markdown to HTML and inserting it into
an HTML template.
