Hello, I'm Ki, your friendly tech fennix, fox, kitty, sabertoothed feline, smilodon, all the same! My name comes from my years of being a mechanical keyboard hobbyist, but it's also very affectionate by my friends.I was born in South Korea, and adopted to my loving family in southeast US. Being naturally deaf, I have been a cochlear implant user for more than two decades, and a decade of speech therapy, so there are still a bit of lapses in my speech.I enjoy most hobbies, most notably virtual reality, firearms, networking, keyboards and computers. I can be quite chatty in text but somewhat shy in voice conversations of any form.I have little to no interest in social media, so I don't have a huge following or anything. I like to keep things private.I'm an open book, so if you have any questions or curiosities, reach out to me!
