<h1>Hello world! 👋</h1>

<p>
    You have reached the personal homepage of <strong>Noah Petherbridge</strong>.
</p>

<p>
    I'm an introvert and a high-functioning computer nerd who lives near Portland, OR. I
    enjoy deep conversations about a wide variety of things -- you could say my pool of
    knowledge is (on average) inches deep but miles wide. There are a handful of things I get <em>really</em>
    passionate with and could talk forever about <small>(such as programming,
    Linux, and whatever's my latest obsession)</small> but also love to learn anything I
    can about the nature of the universe, astrophysics, spirituality, and all kinds of
    other rabbit holes.
</p>

<p>
    I write about random stuff on my <a href="https://www.kirsle.net/" target="_blank">web blog</a> and
    maintain a handful of open source projects on
    <a href="https://github.com/kirsle" target="_blank">GitHub</a>
    and <a href="https://git.kirsle.net/" target="_blank">git.kirsle.net</a>.
</p>

<h2>Software Development</h2>

<p>
    I'm a full stack web developer and I program in Go, Python, and
    JavaScript. One of my largest personal projects is
    <a href="https://www.rivescript.com/" target="_blank">RiveScript</a>,
    a scripting language for programming chat bots &mdash; matching a user's
    message to a certain response. I programmed five different ports of
    RiveScript in different programming languages: Perl, Java, JavaScript,
    Python, and Go.
</p>

<p>
    My web blog, <a href="https://www.kirsle.net/" target="_blank">Kirsle.net</a>,
    is written in Go and I keep that source code <a href="https://github.com/kirsle/blog" target="_blank">here</a>
    for now. Previously it was written in
    <a href="https://git.kirsle.net/apps/rophako" target="_blank">Python</a>
    and its <a href="https://git.kirsle.net/kirsle/kirsle.net" target="_blank">HTML pages</a>
    are readable too. The site you're reading is a simple Python-generated
    static site <a href="https://git.kirsle.net/kirsle/noah.is">here</a>.
</p>

<p>
    You may learn a little more about my projects and check out some examples
    of my work on my <a href="/portfolio">Portfolio</a> page. Also see my
