Hello world, I’m Strydr Silverberg.
I live in Golden, Colorado, where I make cool things.

I've loved making things for as long as I can remember, from woodworking to leatherworking to metalworking, I have always enjoyed a process in which the result is a tangible product. This is part of the reason that I love programming so much!

My current project is the Kirin Chess Engine, which was originally written in C but is now being moved to Zig! If you don't know much about Zig, I encourage you to check out their website and docs as I believe it has a strong place in modern systems programming. As Kirin is currently being refactored, it is currently not able to be played against, but you can view the match history here.

I greatly enjoy programming in low level languages like C and assembly, disassembling binaries, building custom machines, and managing servers. I am a hardcore Linux enthusiast and I'm fascinated by the opportunities presented by the broader open source ecosystem.

Beyond my techinical pursuits, I try and enjoy the outdoors whenever I get the opportunity. I'm an avid fly fisher, climber, and skier; finding immense joy in these endeavors. I also love time at home with my puppy, Lilah; and my girlfriend, Emily.
