Self-remarks:

In a phrase? A medical student with quite an open-source mind!

I'm an active computer hobbyist that has achieved a level from mere beginner to a truly active problem-solver that can overcome most problems and accomplish most of day's computer work by using GNU/Linux and open source software.
