Hi I'm goldfishlaser
Welcome to my personal web site. I am Melanie Allen, 37/f/usa. I have an ecclectic collection of creative pursuits. This site is my home for sharing examples to friends, collaborators, and patrons.
I'm passionate about open source software and hardware. My code interests include HTML5/CSS3, Javascript, Python, OpenSCAD, Processing, Assembly, C/C++. I particularly prefer software and hardware projects that make a positive impact on ecological and liberatory objectives.
I do a variety of performance art, including aerial silks, prop manipulation, and dance. I create visual art in several mediums, digital and physical. And sometimes digital made physical with 3D Printing. I also enjoy vegan plant-based cooking.
