I didn't do an #introduction initially but now I'm getting a feel for this place and feel like I'll probably hang around, I guess I should!
I do not know what y'all might want to know so this is long, sorry!

For work, I mostly develop web apps and the occasional windows application using C#, HTML & CSS, Javascript/Typescript Basic SQL and little PHP.

I am a single parent to my accidentally adopted daughter who has recently become a technical adult (still a fair way to go practically though!). She's on the #autistic spectrum (diagnosed) and I am fairly sure I am too (undiagnosed).
I am best described not as "Mum" or "Dad" but rather, "Mad".

We have 2 #PetRats, photos of whom most of my toots will be, but I try to remember to mark those photos as sensitive in case of peeps with phobias. Do let me know if this is inappropriate and I'll quit it.

I like #Gardening, especially Succulents & Edibles, and will likely post photos of plants, cactai & produce but not many flowers.

I love reading, especially #Fantasy & #SciFi, my fave things to watch also fall within those genres but I don't do a lot of TV/Movie watching mostly because...
I like #Gaming, survival & open world games, good stealth FPS like #TomClancy. Also #VirtualReality #Quest2

I have #spiritual beliefs, with no religious affiliation. Pet rats really enjoy my #Reiki hands! I am creative and a bit of a #JOAT (Jack/Joan Of All Trades) in that I know how to do a little bit of a lot of things.
Also, music is good.

I did my #introduction post and pinned it before I realized how important hashtags are.
