Hi everyone,

I’m Jon, I work as a Digital Marketing Manager at an Asset Management firm in London, UK. I’ve been a code obsessed hobbyist for a good ten years but only picked up Python in the past two/three.

Currently working on quite a number of personal projects (good old ADHD!) including a Lost Ark login bot (wait times in EU were annoying), RTX/PS5 stock finding webscraper/buying bot (fighting fire with fire against scalpers), a property pricing data dashboard and a handful more.

I’m taking part in the Hack The Galaxy contest as my first code challenge; I’m ready to branch into the Software Engineering world after working on the periphery for several years now so hoping this can help me get some accolades to show off!

Hello good people!
My name is Mark and I’m a passionate astronomist, astrologist and esoterist. I found this community on Instagram with the hashtag #astronomy… weird! I’d love to participate in anything that regards space exploration and astronomy in general.
I studied physics and biology at the University of Sheffield in the UK, and I currently work in a restaurant.

Piacenza, Italy

:building_construction: what you’re working on
I have regular contacts with outer dimensions since 2018, now transformed in regular communications. I’m not a channeler, for what I does not interfere with my natural body: I use technologic tools such as REM and modern magnetic pendulums. Everything works in latin.

:magnet: what you would like to get out of the community
I might be able to unveil some facts about our reality on this planet and outside of it. Sometimes this means to completely get off the official narrative of science and often involves pseudo-science. I won’t talk about anything in particular until we eventually get to a common point!

:partying_face: fun facts about you!

  • I have a huge, massive nose.
  • I started as a music producer when I was 12 and ended up inventing a way to convert magnetic records into awesome threads.
  • My mother is a witch.
  • My father is a Lieutenant in NATO’s Italian Air Force.
  • Since I was 4, I dream about becoming an inventor and a space explorer.
  • Due to what I do, I’ve had several direct (bad) experiences with some bosses italian mafia (I don’t restrain saying that, but I won’t tell the details). Thankfully I ended up surrounding myself with trustable people afterwards and my life is doing kinda ok now.

:world_map: Hello everyone, My name is Tawanda and I’m a technology enthusiast from Harare, Zimbabwe.
:building_construction: I’m currently building my blog website so that I can share my knowledge with the world. I believe that I would also reinforce my knowledge by doing this.
:magnet: I would like to network - essentially make new friends. I get lonely coding all day by myself. I also believe that there are many people out there that are more experienced and knowledgeable than I am, which provides a large pool of information.
:partying_face: I’m a cat person but I can tolerate small dogs.
