About me

I'm mostly interested in Winter War and Continuation War things as a hobby, but I do occasional edits to other articles related to MilHist, especially in the context of WWII and Finland. I also do occasional edits to natural language generation related things, but I'm trying to keep my job separate from my hobbies. Feel free to ping me for any kinds of requests related to those topics.

I seem have sufficient background in linguistics to be dangerous to myself and the sanity of those more knowledgeable.
