-Working hard or hardly working
+# Summary
+
+I'm a hard-working software engineer by day, and attending classes at George Mason University also by day. Currently, I work in full-stack development using both Ruby and Python, with a focus on web technologies specifically. I've been a part of some pretty cool projects using both of these languages! I am currently working at [Verodin, Inc.](https://verodin.com) helping companies measure the effectiveness of their cybersecurity measures.
+
+# Interests
+
+Tech-wise, there will always be more to know, and more to do. Currently I am interested in statistics and machine learning, and how to apply these fields to common problems I encounter. I also am a programming language fanatic. My favorite programming languages include but are not limited to: Julia, Python, C, Scheme, Racket, Ruby, Javascript, and R.

-The migration is complete! I made the decision in the past week to move away from Middleman (sorry Middleman) and pick up a new blogging platform with more hutzpah. I've read several articles and posts about [Hugo](gohugo.io) and heard that it is an absolute blast to work with. How simple is it would you say? So simple that all I really did was install Hugo, download a theme, configure that theme and BOOM here I am writing content on my new platform.
+The migration is complete! I made the decision in the past week to move away from Middleman. While Middleman certainly has its strengths, it was still a process that was a little too manual. I found myself still having to code up HTML/CSS/JS and handle a lot of the web development side of blogging vs. getting to focus on content. I was unhappy with my site because I couldn't control how it looked or functioned without a massive amount of work, and after this work was complete I was too tired to actually blog! That was a major problem for me, because regularly blogging has been a goal of mine for years now. So I needed something simpler that handled this boilerplate development for me, allowing me to focus on weaving thoughts into nice coherent posts for my blog.
 
-Hugo makes the boring stuff easy. I did not have to write any HTML or CSS. The Hugo theme [author](http://yoshiharuyamashita.com/) has literally done all of this for me. Yoshiharu if I ever get the chance to meet you, I owe you. This theme is beautiful and is exactly the look I wanted my personal site to display. Hugo also builds sites in milliseconds. Using the new and shiny Golang, Hugo is able to churn through a site render in <1ms per page. This is extraordinary. Development changes and builds are nearly instantly completed, and the speed of the build never ceases to amaze.
+Enter Hugo, the static site generator written entirely in Go. How simple is it would you say? So simple that all I really did was install Hugo, download a theme, configure that theme and BOOM here I am writing content on my new platform.
 
-# Getting Hugo on Fedora
+I plan on using Hugo for my blog from now on, and will hopefully actively contribute to the project on Github.
 
-My Hugo setup is currently on a Fedora 27 laptop. I wanted to share some of the steps I followed to get Hugo up and running, hopefully to help some other developer out there that may not be the best at front-end development get their ideas heard.

 ## Snapcraft
 
-Snapcraft and snaps are a method of package management created by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu. Snaps are a means of isolating applications in a self-contained environment that includes everything that the application needs to runs. Once you have downloaded the Hugo snap, you will be able to start working with Hugo.

+
+After following the snapd installation instructions at [snapcraft.io](snapcraft.io), run
+
+```bash
+snap install hugo
+hugo new site new-site
+cd new-site
+```
+
+This will create your new Hugo site at `new-site` and change into it. After setting up a Hugo site, a good next step is to set a theme for the site. Visit [the themes site](themes.gohugo.io) and follow the instructions for downloading your theme and configuring it. My theme is Blackburn.
+
+And there you have it! I know this post was short but I truly didn't do much when setting up Hugo! Let me know if there is anything you'd like to see me cover in my next post. Thanks!
