<p><standout>I'm Luna! Nice to meet you.</standout> <span style="float: right;">Focus areas: ROCm×Nix · Linux GPGPU · NixOS · Rust · Java bytecode minutia</span></p>

<p>A better future is fundamentally possible and worth striving for.<br/>
<a href="https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/">Give some of your money to effective charities</a> <small>if you're well off!</small></p>

<p>I will demonstrably maintain an entire machine learning ecosystem if that's what it takes to use my local training cluster.</p>

<p>If you're interested in hiring me for a west coast hybrid or US remote role, contact me at <a href="mailto:jobs26@lunnova.dev">jobs26@lunnova.dev</a>.<br/>
I'm particularly interested in ML & Nix, generally open to exciting opportunities with a good mission statement.</p>
