Hello there, I'm Satch!
I live in Heath, MA, and am currently in my senior year of high school.
This website is rather new and at present is an almost exact copy of [Tim Visee's site](https://vis.ee).
*_Below this point, the text has not been updated from Tim's site yet_*
I prefer to make software free and open-source, because I believe it's
important to allow anybody to inspect, modify, improve, contribute and verify
it without restrictions. I also contribute to various other open projects as
well.
See the [Me on the web](@/about.md#me-on-the-web) section below for a
comprehensive overview of my online profiles.
